Mountain Lion/SMB/symlinks
Hi, I have a little problem with symlinks on samba share... I added unix extension = no to /etc/samba/smb.conf (global) then added wide links = Yes follow symlinks = Yes ...
Windows shortcuts,
Macintosh aliases,
and Unix symbolic links,
are all different. A Mac in the Finder, can follow both Aliases and Symbolic links but not Windows Shortcuts. Are you sure it is a Symbolic link? This would have to be created either on the Mac in Terminal.app, or on the ReadyNAS itself if you have enabled SSH access. A Windows client would not I believe be able to create a Symbolic link (unless it logs in the ReadyNAS via SSH).
