Firstly, thanks for all your answers. Inside "origin" there're about ten subdirs like "target". Some of them are symlinked to the new filesystem. The rest, must remain in their path so: - AFAIK, we can't mount the new drive to origin/target because target is not the only subdir we are symlinking (it is we should make more than one mount, one for every subdir we need to link. - We neither can make the symlink (or the mount) to the entire "origin" dir, because the client demands that only certain subdirs should be moved to the new drive.
It seems there's no an easy way... 2011/3/22 Caldarale, Charles R <chuck.caldar...@unisys.com> > > From: André Warnier [mailto:a...@ice-sa.com] > > Subject: Re: Can't move files using symbolic links (allowLinking=true) > > > The perl documentation for rename() though, has this to say : > > rename OLDNAME,NEWNAME > > > > perl itself being written in C, is usually pretty close to the C > > library.
