While it is true that AFS mount points are represented as symlinks whose target begins with # or % (denoting the type of mount point), the thing that makes them mount points and not symlinks is their mode. It is possible to create symlinks to targets starting with '#' or '%' by making an RXAFS_Symlink() call, and clients will treat such links correctly. It is simply not possible to create such links using the symlink() syscall on an OpenAFS client, because the cache manager interprets such requests as requests to create mount points.

Which refutes none of what I said. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
