Hello all,
I am having a bit of a problem with the ln command.
If i give the command
ln -s "/data/mp3/Nelly" "/datastore/alfabet/N/Nelly"
Then I expect only in the directory "/datastore/alfabet/N/"
a symboly link named "Nelly" being created.
BUT also (!) in "/data/mp3/Nelly" a symbolic link "Nelly" is created and it is referenced to /data/mp3/Nelly
(there was already a directory calles "DaDerrty.......blablabla)
drwxrwxrwx 3 apache apache 4096 Jul 5 15:12 . drwxrwxrwx 403 apache apache 12288 Jul 4 09:58 .. drwxrwxrwx 2 apache apache 4096 May 5 11:29 DaDerrtyVersionsTheReinven lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jul 5 15:12 Nelly -> /data/mp3/Nelly
What am i doing wrong ?????????????????????????
The ln command looks fine. Are you sure you didn't accidentally create the link Nelly -> /data/mp3/Nelly when you were trying to create the link previously?
Remove the bogus link and the correct link. Then try:
ln -s "/data/mp3/Nelly" "/datastore/alfabet/N/Nelly"
again. Should not get the bogus link.
With kind regards Fons van der Beek
