Hi all, I've come across this crazy problem and I hope someone knows what's going on.
I am using kernel-level NFS. Debian unstable. 2.4.14. I have exported / I can mount the remote filesystem on my client machine no problem. But if I try to change to a remote symlinked directory I get, for example: bash: cd: backup2: No such file or directory Because that directory doesn't exist on my _local_ machine. If I "cd backup" I am changed into the directory on my local machine (because it exists). Not only is this surreal but it's dangerous if I think I'm in the directory of a remote computer when I'm actually in a local one. I haven't turned up this problem through searching for a solution. The mount package version is 2.11m-1. To date I've always avoided NFS and used Samba so I'm inexperienced at this. Samba can't provide the remote file permissions I wish to also store for backup purposes. Thanks, Adam
