I wonder if you use cygwin if it would support making a symbolic link via the normal "ln" method. How about microsoft's unix services for windows???

From my investigations, Windows doesn't seem to have symbolic links. The "shortcuts" that you see on a Windows desktop doesn't resolve at the CreateFile level (operating system call), so it is only handled by Explorer (which is an application, not the operating system). I have not been able to find a CIFS method of creating a symbolic link (and I have looked repeatedly).

My company tried to save some money by getting a Netapp without the NFS license because we will not be using it with Unix. The problem is we need to use a few symbolic links. It seems that the only way to create them is via a NFS mount. Does anyone know a way around this?

Thanks,
