Could somebody at Transarc please put in the documentation that
you better not create symbolic links to files that begin with a
# or a % because they will be recognized by AFS as being volume
mount points and not pointing to orginal file:
touch #tempfile
ls -l #tempfile
-rw-rw-r-- 1 werner 300 0 Apr 29 17:58 #tempfile
ln -s #tempfile templink
ls -l templink
ls: templink: No such device
rm templink
rm: cannot stat templink: No such device
fs ls templink
'templink' is a mount point for volume '#tempfil'
fs rm templink
Took the guys who working on this application that used tempfile
starting with quite a while to figure out what wrong and why all
their links disappeared in AFS.
Then they came to complain about compatibility .... @#$*&^%$
