symlink on NFS client ODS-5 disk
Disk DNFS1: (ADM1), device type Foreign disk type 7, is online, mounted, file-
oriented device, shareable, accessed via DFS or NFS.
Volume Status: ODS-5, access dates enabled.
I can create the symlink, but any access fails. Any ideas?
$ dir/size test2.txt
Directory NOLIJ:[000000]
test2.txt;1 1
Total of 1 file, 1 block.
$ create sl.txt/sym="test2.txt"
$ dir/size sl.txt
Directory NOLIJ:[000000]
sl.txt;1 -> test2.txt
1
Total of 1 file, 1 block.
$ type sl.txt
%TYPE-W-OPENIN, error opening NOLIJ:[000000]sl.txt;1 as input
-RMS-F-ORG, invalid file organization value

Re: symlink on NFS client ODS-5 disk
Odd!
$ HELP/MESSAGE ORG
ORG, invalid file organization value
Facility: RMS, OpenVMS Record Management Services
Explanation: An invalid file organization is encountered on an $OPEN system service or specified for a $CREATE system service. Files must be either sequential, relative, or indexed, unless block I/O processing is requested.
User Action: Verify that the call to the RMS file system service is coded correctly.
What does DIRECTORY/FULL for TEST2.TXT and SL.TXT say?
I also note the Volume Status doesn't say "Special Files". Try:
$ SET VOLUME/VOLUME=SPECIAL_FILES NOLIJ
and retry.
Curious because the default for ODS-5 should be "(NOHARDLINKS, NOACCESS_DATES, SPECIAL_FILES)"

Re: symlink on NFS client ODS-5 disk
%SET-E-NOTSET, error modifying _DNFS1:
-RMS-E-FNF, file not found
So I guess I will open a case with HP.
Thanks to all.

Re: symlink on NFS client ODS-5 disk
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/83FINAL/tcprn/tcp_rnpro.html#nfs_symlink_support
TCP/IP Services v5.6 includes symbolic link support in the NFS server, but it says nothing about the NFS client. Most likely that is still a to-do.

Re: symlink on NFS client ODS-5 disk
I didn't see what software and OSes are involved, here nor which versions of them. It would be interesting to know.
Hardlinks are a different thing, they are not required, here. In the released version of VMS, using symbolic links with hardlinks doesn't always work as expected, but that is also a different thing.

Re: symlink on NFS client ODS-5 disk
The same error shows if you create a symbolic link locally on the server side and try to access it on the VMS client side.
It looks like the TCPIP client has a problem to access remote symbolic links on non-VMS servers.
