Error in link creation

[hboo]

Hello all

I want create a link between a existing file (file1) and new file (file2), executing next command:

ln file1 /dir/subdir/file2

The output is:

ln: different file system

I tried ln -f and output is the same.
Somebody can help me please...

You are attempting to create a hard-link (which is two or more directory entries sharing a common inode and must therefore be in the same file system). Instead you want a "soft" or symbolic link which is a directory-entry that contains a string is, in fact, another directory entry and can cross file system boundaries.

Add the "-s" argument to your existing ln and you are good to go.

ln -s file1 /dir/subdir/file2
