Yeah, this is annoying, but AIUI they call it a feature; a local admin can symlink directories around if they suddenly lack space on a partition (this was before bind mounts existed). Thanks, //mirabilos -- Beware of ritual lest you forget the meaning behind it. yeah but it means if you really care about something, don't ritualise it, or you will lose it. don't fetishise it, don't obsess. or you'll forget why you love it in the first place.
