While doing some coda testing, I noticed the following coda behavior.
I'm wondering if this is the intended operation, or something that needs
some work.
Basically, I am unable to change ownership of symlinks that reside on a coda
filesystem. For example:
[skoledin@susie chowntest]$ touch test
[skoledin@susie chowntest]$ ln -s test test.lnk
[skoledin@susie chowntest]$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-rw-r-- 1 skoledin 65534 0 Jul 14 15:57 test
lrwxr-xr-x 1 skoledin 65534 4 Jul 14 15:57 test.lnk -> test
[skoledin@susie chowntest]$ chown codatest test.lnk
chown: test.lnk: Invalid argument
[skoledin@susie chowntest]$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-rw-r-- 1 skoledin 65534 0 Jul 14 15:57 test
lrwxr-xr-x 1 skoledin 65534 4 Jul 14 15:57 test.lnk -> test
[skoledin@susie chowntest]$ chown --dereference codatest test.lnk
[skoledin@susie chowntest]$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-rw-r-- 1 codatest 65534 0 Jul 14 15:57 test
lrwxr-xr-x 1 skoledin 65534 4 Jul 14 15:57 test.lnk -> test
