Symlinks

[Baggi0]

Hi guys I'm having issues creating symlinks from my main Windows PC to my Unraid drives.  

 

I've mapped my unraid drive to Z: and when i try and create one from the PC with https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/hardlinkshellext.html from the context menu i get this error

 

 

If i try from powershell or the command prompt as admin using;

 

mklink /D "C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents\MyFolder" "Z:\MyNASFolder"  for folders

 

or

 

mklink "C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents\MyFolder\File" "Z:\MyNASFolder\File"

 

It says it's successful but it creates the link on the source drive not the destination.

 

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?  I had a search on the net and found that on synology you have to enable option this but couldn't find any information on if we have to with Unraid.

 

Thanks

Just realised i was doing the latter the wrong way around so if i do it the other way i get

 

"The file or directory is not a reparse point."

Can anyone help with this?   I've tried adding;

 

[global]
unix extensions = no
wide links = yes
allow insecure wide links = yes

 

Into the Samba extra configuration and still have no luck.
