pvfs2-ln - Man Page

pvfs2-ln -s [-Vvh] target link_name

The pvfs2-ln utility creates a soft link (symlink) at link_name which points to target where target will be in an OrangeFS volume.  The link_name may refer to files across file systems and even non-existent files.

The options are as follows:

-V

Display verbose messages.

-v

Print version number and exit.

-h

Display synopsis.

PVFS2_DEBUGFILE

If set to the path of a local file, redirect debug output to it.

PVFS2_DEBUGMASK

Set the OrangeFS debug mask.  Possible masks are documented in pvfs2-set-debugmask(1).

PVFS2TAB_FILE

If set, the full pathname for an alternate pvfs2tab file

/etc/pvfs2tab

Create a link at /mnt/bar referring to the file /mnt/foo referring to it by a relative path.

Create a link at /mnt/bar referring to the file /etc/motd which is not in the OrangeFS volume.

A link to a file outside of the OrangeFS volume will refer to a different file if the file system is mounted at different mount points or on different machines.
