--- Begin Message ---Package: sshfs Version: 1.2-1 Severity: wishlist Currently, absolute symlinks in mounted shares do not make much sense, as they point to some location in the remote host which insn't the same in the mounted host. Can an option enable rewriting symlinks so that they point to something sensible. A problem I could envisage is the case when the symlink points to some location outside the mounted tree (like a symlink to /etc, when /foo/bar on the remote host is mounted). Some solutions I could think of are - 1. Of course, leave them unchanged and let them point to nonsense. 2. Expose them as real files, after dereferencing them at the remote host (I hope sftp can still access files outside the root of the mount point). We have to handle the cases when readlink or stat'ing of the dereferenced file results in an error (perhaps revert to behaviour 1?) Of course, you can make behaviour 2 optional again.
