Configuration File
Configuration Parameters
Chapter 7 123
fakeDirLinks If the server does not supply a number of hard-links for
directories, this number is used. The value defaults to
2, if not specified. Some implementations of the UNIX
utility find determine whether recursion is necessary
or not from the link count. If your find uses this
optimization, you may want to fake a high number of
links for directories. Alternatively you can switch off
the optimization with a commandline switch to find.
enableFakeLinks If this boolean variable is set to yes, the HP CIFS
Client can do softlinks on Windows-servers. These
softlinks can be used by the HP CIFS Client clients
only. On the Windows server they look like ordinary
files with special attributes set (system and hidden
attributes, if you have not modified the configuration).
linkModeMask, linkMode
These two integer variables define the file attributes
that are used to distinguish faked softlinks from
ordinary files. linkModeMask is 7 by default, which
means that the attributes read-only, hidden and
system are taken into account. linkMode defines the
actual state that these attributes must have. It is 6 by
default, which means that hidden and system must be
set, but not read-only. The configuration value is
calculated as the sum of the following components:
linksAreUnicode If this boolean variable is set to yes, the HP CIFS
Client stores faked links in Unicode format on the
server. This is incompatible with the CygWin32 format
for symbolic links, but allows lossless storage of client
paths. If it is set to no, symbolic links are more or less
compatible to those of CygWin32 on Windows, but a
conversion to the server character set is performed.
Regardless of this variable, the HP CIFS Client can
read symbolic link files in both formats.
