Hm, client$ uname OpenBSD client$ mount -t nfs ... server:/home/shared on /home/shared type nfs ... client$ ssh server server$ uname OpenBSD server$ cd /home/shared server$ ln -s stuff stuff-link server$ exit client$ mv /home/shared/stuff-link /home/shared/stuff-link2 client$ ls -ld /home/shared/* ... lrwxr-xr-x 1 someone somegroup 4 Mar 19 10:20 /home/shared/stuff-link2 -> stuff ... Or were you doing something more complex, like moving a symlink across a filesystem? From local to nfs? > Is that because I was over nfs, or is it because of freebsd mv? If it was purely across nfs, then it's probably in the way solaris handled the command from the freebsd client. > Linux mv moves > symlinks, although I'm not sure about nfs. did you try moving a symlink on a local FreeBSD filesystem? what about across local filesystems? Why do you assume it's something with the freebsd mv, and not even consider solaris's nfs? Did you try the exact same thing from a linux or solaris client? -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
