You can even setup a symbolic link to refer to the filesystem/directory in anyway you like.<BR /><BR />e.g. ln -s /net/hostname/vol1/oraclw/source/share /net/hostname/share<BR /><BR />Using symbolic links doesn't even require that the file exist and the links are preserved across machine reboots. The link might point to nothing but the mountpoint if the filesystem is not mounted. Because you are using the /net directory, it is possible that you are using the automounter. In that case, all you need to do is change the automount maps.<BR /><BR /> Fri, 20 Sep 2002 00:19:03 GMT A.
