Hello -- We have a Solaris 10 ZFS server running Samba with "follow symlinks=yes" set. We're noticing that if you delete (via Samba) a file that is a symbolic link pointing to a subdirectory somewhere, with files in that subdir, it will not only delete the symbolic link file, but also delete the files in the target subdirectory. On Unix, if you delete a symbolic link, it will leave the original target subdir (and its files) untouched. This behavior only seems to happen if the symlink is pointing to a populated subdirectory. If you have a symlink that points to a file and delete the symlink via Samba, the original file remains intact. Does anyone know of a way to get around this particular behavior? We would like it to behave as in Unix. Only the symlink gets deleted and not the subdir/files it was pointing at.
