Thread: Samba behaviour with Symlinks

-

a brief background, i'm trying archive dvd/bluray disks doing following command:

cp -sr /mnt/cdrom/bluray/* /mnt/r1/archive/cd1/

copies symlink of every file/dir cd hard disk. browsable when dvd/bluray removed, , if dvd/bluray put in, file open. achieved through using autofs did working well.

problem samba.

imporant parts of smb.conf file

[global]
unix extensions = no

[r1]
path = /mnt/r1
valid users = bob,root
browsable = yes
writable = yes
follow symlinks = yes
wide links = yes
this lets me follow symlinks samba fine , works well. if actual dvd/bluray inserted in drive. once disk removed, symlinks broken , samba no longer presents end user. goes invisible.

wondering if there way the default behavior of samba changed user @ least see filename instead of nothing @ all. if see filename , know on disk before having insert fantastic.

know via ssh can see symlinks, way samba interprets symlinks.

or if can offer alternative solution i'm trying achieve i'd hear it.
