Spending 105 kb on a png when a transcript of your console session would occupy less than 1 kb is a waste of bandwidth. At any rate, I tried and failed to reproduce your setup: $ cd /tmp/ $ mkdir -p aaa/aaa1 bbb $ cd aaa $ ln -fnrsv aaa1 ../bbb/ ‘../bbb/aaa1’ -> ‘../aaa/aaa1’ $ ln -fnrsv aaa1 ../bbb/ ‘../bbb/aaa1’ -> ‘../aaa/aaa1’ Using 'tree(1)' to display your directory does not necessarily provide enough information (although it did mention that it listed 3 directories, so I'm assuming aaa1 is an empty directory - but that's what I used above in my reproduction attempt). Could you instead please show 'ls -lR aaa bbb' before your 'cd aaa' step, so we have a more complete picture of your starting setup? Also, it would help if you explained what you thought was odd - your graphic kind of hints at that, by how it shows the same command executed twice with different outputs, but you could have provided more details. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
