What is surprising is the asymmetry: you can create the symlink, but cannot remove it.
- 0x0 11y agoIf you make a directory tree "a/a/a/a/a/a/a" and then rename every directory to "aaaaaaa (x255)" starting on the inner directory... How does other OSes deal with this? Does every rename at a top level folder check the filenames recursively first?
