Hello,
I am trying to install software on an AFS volume using SUN's pkgadd
utility. The problem is that some of the files are hard links. As long as the
links are to files in the same directory, everyting is fine. But if the link is
to a file in another directory (on the same volume) the link fails as follows:
cd /vol1 (mount point for a volume)
touch file1
mkdir tmp
cd tmp
ln ../file1 file2
ln: file2 is on a different file system
Obviously you can't create a hard link across a file system, but why would "ln"
think the files are on different file systems? How do I get around this?
