Hi Dave
Mount --bind
Symlink only points at a directory, creates a link to that directory but
doesnt act like one.
Symlinks can be accidentally removed and create management issues; therefore
in some cases it is acceptable to create a hard link that is not breakable.
One way to achieve this is with mount bind

Subject: [Samba] samba3, nfs mounted directory, and dfs
Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2007 11:30:39 -0400
Hello,
I hope this is the right place to ask this one.
I've got a FreeBSD 6.2 machine acting as an nfs server. It's exporting
a home directory to several machines. On the server that home directory has
a symlink in it to another directory on the filesystem. As long as users
are on the server they can view the directory symlinked to, but if viewing
through samba, they're logged on to another machine, that directory
obviously doesn't show up because the endpoint doesn't exist on the nfs
clients. I'm wondering would dfs fix this? If so, would i have to do it on
the server or client boxes?
Thanks.
Dave.
