As for any symlink from /compat/linux/<somedir> to /<somedir>: DON'T EVER DO THAT :-) This is what happens if you do: stat /<somedir> => NAMEI /compat/linux/<somedir> -> /<somedir> => NAMEI /compat/linux/<somedir> -> /<somedir> => NAMEI /compat/linux/<somedir> -> /<somedir> => NAMEI /compat/linux/<somedir> -> /<somedir> => NAMEI /compat/linux/<somedir> -> /<somedir> => NAMEI /compat/linux/<somedir> -> /<somedir> => NAMEI /compat/linux/<somedir> -> /<somedir> => NAMEI /compat/linux/<somedir> -> /<somedir> => NAMEI /compat/linux/<somedir> -> /<somedir> (you get my drift) -- Marcel Moolenaar mailto:marcel@scc.nl SCC Internetworking & Databases http://www.scc.nl/ The FreeBSD project mailto:marcel@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
