Subject: Cannot create a native symlink in not current directory
Date: Sun, 10 May 2015 23:34:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA+Ni7jOiwWcFL4vBKqEFkWf_sX0EOHaZW3--p2yCJerR2C-bXQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

ln -s x y

Everything works.

ln -s x ../y

>ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘../y’: No such file or directory

Now it is interesting. WHAT IS THIS. Am I not getting something?

Same command works perfectly with non-native links.
