You can enable widelinks from a share if you want to allow CIFS clients to follow absolute symbolic links to destinations outside the share or storage system. By default, this feature is disabled.
Step
- Perform one of the following actions.
If you want to... |
Enter the command... |
Enable widelinks from a share |
cifs shares -change sharename -widelink |
Disable widelinks from a share |
cifs shares -change sharename -nowidelink |
You can also enable widelinks from a share by specifying the -widelink option when you create the share.
After you finish
After you enable widelinks from a share, you need to create widelink entries in the
/etc/symlink.translations file to specify how the storage system determines the destination represented by each widelink.
