This seems peculiar behaviour to me:
mkdir targ
ln -s targ src
ll -rt
drwxr-xr-x 2 cwbspr2 wbspr2 4096 Dec 6 15:49 targ
lrwxrwxrwx 1 cwbspr2 wbspr2 4 Dec 6 15:49 src -> targ
That's as expected but then if you try and create the symlink again you
get the following:
ln -s targ src
ll targ/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 cwbspr2 wbspr2 4 Dec 6 15:50 targ -> targ
i.e. inside the targ directory you get a targ symlink to targ.
This surely isn't the expected behaviour. Can anyone explain this ?
Thanks.
