Samba has the 'wide links' option, that we currently do not test and support as part of the mmsmb integration. You can always open a RFE and ask that we support this option in a future release.

I might be reading this wrong, but do you actually want symlinks that point to a file or directory outside of the GPFS file system? Could you outline a usecase for that?

Subject: [gpfsug-discuss] SMB server on GPFS clients and Followsymlinks
Date: Tue, May 15, 2018 3:04 PM
Hello All,Has anyone tried serving SMB export of GPFS mounts from a SMB server on GPFS client? Is it supported and does it lead to any issues?I understand that i will not need a redundant SMB server configuration.I could use CES, but CES does not support follow-symlinks outside respective SMB export. Follow-symlinks is a however a hard-requirement for to follow links outside GPFS filesystems.
Thanks,Lohit_______________________________________________
