The security setting 'Create symbolic links' can be granted at: Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Ĭreating a symbolic link requires elevation, but from Windows 10 build 14972, symlinks can be created without needing to elevate the console as administrator - this does however require that you have Developer Mode enabled. Moreover, symbolic links are processed at the client, and junctions as well as hard links are processed at the server.
The DIR /A:S command will display Junctions, indicated with īy default, only Administrators can create symbolic links. The standard DIR command will display Symbolic Links, indicated with Unfortunately under Microsoft Windows neither hard links or symbolic links are supported by. Symbolic links can expose security vulnerabilities in applications that aren’t designed to handle them. It is possible (but not advisable) to create two links that point to each other in a loop, or a link that targets itself. If the original filename is deleted, the hard link will still work - it points directly to the data on disk. Hard Links are implemented with multiple file table entries that point to the same inode – the same as Unix hard links. Symbolic Links and Directory Junctions are implemented using reparse points. Symbolic links are also the only type of link which can be set to a relative path (on the same volume).Ī symlink can be an absolute path C:\Programs or a path relative to the link's location \Programs. Symbolic links can span volumes and can use UNC paths. Symbolic links are the newest and most flexible type of link, (first introduced in Vista) they are transparent to users the links appear as normal NTFS files or directories, and can be acted upon by the user or application in exactly the same manner. Target The path (relative or absolute) that the new link refers to. H Create a hard link instead of a symbolic link. I have included a link to the sourceforge page below.Create a symbolic link to a directory or a file, or create a hard file link or directory junction. I know this sounds like a horrid suggestion, but if you could put a ftpd on the dos box you could use this fuse extension to mount that as a writable filesystem. Minshall+French symlinks are used even if the server supports the CIFS Unix Extensions. This option is ignored when specified together with the sfu option. Mfsymlinks Enable support for Minshall+French symlinks (see ). Sudo mount -t cifs -o username=username,guest,vers=2.1,mfsymlinks //200.90.12.25/DOSA /home/pi/myNAS/myShare You might consider something like what the above poster said: Mount.cifs sudo mount.cifs //200.90.12.25/DOSA /home/pi/myNAS/myShare -o username=username,guest,domain=domain,mfsymlinksĪny alternative solution much appreciated.Ĭould you please clarify your question just a bit more, you said a windows symlink is what you are trying to mount? Was this created using the mklink command on windows? I'm not sure if it would be possible to use a windows lnk file as a location to mount if that is what you are referring to attempting to mount. I got the same mount error(5): Input/output error sudo mount -t cifs -o username=username,guest,vers=2.1,mfsymlinks //200.90.12.25/DOSA /home/pi/myNAS/myShare
