[coLinux-users] symbolic links on cofs

[Tobbe L. <to...@tl...>]

Hi

I have mounted a path on my windows drive in colinux. It seems like I
can't create symbolic links on this mount. Is there any way to make
symbolic links work on mounted windows drives?

Not as far as I know of.
Try using mount to mount another path on that path.
Only downside is, you've gotta do that everytime when mounting paths.

COFS doesn't (currently) support special files, including symlinks.

"Creation of special files like symlinks, device nodes, and pipes are
not supported."

"Future versions of cofs support will introduce the UNIX meta data
mode[...] It will allow to have a true UNIX file system."

I'm not a developer for the project, so I have no idea when these
features will be available, if at all.

If you're mounting a windows path to a windows path, you can try using 
mklink within the windows environment to make a directory junction in 
the first place. That one's permanent.
