[nzlug] Getting NFS to follow a server side symlink.

[Andrew Bruce]

Hi,

I've got a small setup problem issue with NFS.

I've got a directory shared called /mnt/media which works fine to all
the machines I've allowed it.

Under this directory I've got a symlink to another drive located at
/mnt/video.  The symlink is /mnt/media/video

I know this is kind of a strange setup, but it is to get around an issue
with an external USB drive.

Under Samba, accessing the the video drive via the symlink works
perfectly (from both Linux and Windows clients).

Under NFS it doesn't, it just says that it doesn't seem to exist anymore
(in Konqueror).  On the CLI is just says no such file or directory
(which is true, as it appears to be pointing to /mnt/video on the local
machine rather than the one on the server).

Can anyone give me a hint as to how to make this play nicely, if possible?

Thanks,

Andrew
