- mhandley 11y agoHow strange. I'm also on 10.11.1, and I get "file name too long": sh-3.2# ln -s ftw $str1/$str2/$str3/$str4/L ln: 1.../2.../3.../4.../L: File name too long sh-3.2# mount /dev/disk1 on / (hfs, local, journaled) ... Edit: see my comment above - you can indeed create a path too long; just not in one go.
- robinhouston 11y agoAh, it looks as though it works in /tmp (where I first tried) though not in my home directory. Very odd…
