While doing some coda testing, I noticed the following coda behavior. I'm wondering if this is the intended operation, or something that needs some work. Basically, I am unable to change ownership of symlinks that reside on a coda filesystem. For example: [skoledin_at_susie chowntest]$ touch test [skoledin_at_susie chowntest]$ ln -s test test.lnk [skoledin_at_susie chowntest]$ ls -l total 0 -rw-rw-r-- 1 skoledin 65534 0 Jul 14 15:57 test lrwxr-xr-x 1 skoledin 65534 4 Jul 14 15:57 test.lnk -> test [skoledin_at_susie chowntest]$ chown codatest test.lnk chown: test.lnk: Invalid argument [skoledin_at_susie chowntest]$ ls -l total 0 -rw-rw-r-- 1 skoledin 65534 0 Jul 14 15:57 test lrwxr-xr-x 1 skoledin 65534 4 Jul 14 15:57 test.lnk -> test [skoledin_at_susie chowntest]$ chown --dereference codatest test.lnk [skoledin_at_susie chowntest]$ ls -l total 0 -rw-rw-r-- 1 codatest 65534 0 Jul 14 15:57 test lrwxr-xr-x 1 skoledin 65534 4 Jul 14 15:57 test.lnk -> test Stephan B.
