Greetings everyone. I'm up to strangeness again.
I'm trying to do something where I expose a collection of files in a directory
that are symbolic links via NFS.
The NFS mount works, but the files then try to be symbolic links on the local
file system where I mount the remote NFS share. (this is unsurprising,
upon thinking about it)
I suspect hard links would work except you cannot hard link across multiple
file systems.
example
Remote machine
dir_1
\ symlink_1 -> /work/target/realfile_1
What I want to be able to do is have a collection of files in dir_1, link to
the 'real files' in other places, and by writing to the linked file,
update the real file without having to make multiple directory changes in a
script. Basically copy from local file system to NFS mounted dir with the
file symlink and just have it go where the symlink points to on the remote end.
Is this possible, or am I going to have to NFS expose every real file
separately - I really don't want to do that as I don't want to have a large
exports file to maintain.
Thanks, and have a great weekend
