Enabling or disabling widelinks from a share

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.

    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.
