Subject: How to trigger to use NFS native symlink instead of lnk or file with url?
Date: Wed, 01 Aug 2012 19:45:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <50198280.5090809@nimbula.com> (raw)
Dear cygwiners,
In documentation on environment variables there is a reference only for
2 choices.
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html
None of which is given native NFS symlink option: windows shortcut(LNK
file) or "plain files with a magic number, a path and the system
attribute set" .
From Corinna Vinschen post
http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2012-04/msg00564.html
"Cygwin understands NFS symlinks just fine, and when it creates symlinks
on NFS, these are *real* symlinks, not Cygwin-type fake symlinks. "
How to make it working? Default behavior is to use "plain file" as
defined in environment document :(
Thanks,
Sasha
