amule and symbolic links
by mike20 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6D6W3)
hello everyone,
I tried to move the folders Incoming and Temp to a different partition and link back to it, but it seems amule doesn't like symbolic links.
Code:ln -s /.../Incoming /.../.aMule/Incoming, same with Temp.
I can access the link and it seems normal but amule doesn't copy new files in it. Instead, it generates a new folder .../Incoming.
Anyone an idea why?
I could also link the folders with mount and that works perfectly but I try to avoid that, so I dont have the files twice on backups. Thats why I would like to use sym links if possible.
