I've been troubleshooting this problem for a while but still can't seem to figure it out.
I have a jail running mythtv that uses a script called mythlink to create symlinks to all of my TV shows. I then share the folder with the symlinks (including the folder with the actual files) via Samba for watching on my clients.
I have configured Samba to follow symlinks using the configuration below and can confirm it works for other files
If I create a symlink directly on the Freenas box it works fine and is viewable through the Samba share on my Mac OS X machine
The symlinks created by mythlink, however, are still not viewable vis Samba. (Note that I can see the original files). File information on the symlinks from the Freenas box below
I have tried numerous chmod / chown operations to avoid any permission issues.
If anyone has additional troubleshooting tips, I would greatly appreciate it.
