Description mrl5 2010-01-27 21:04:05 UTC

Symlinks are not created properly 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Follow the steps in the article :)
Actual Results:  
Symlink to /mnt/rwstorage/var is created inside /var dir (and the result is /var/var)
Symlink to /mnt/rwstorage/tmp isn't created at all

Expected Results:  
As above..

1. You should remove /var and /tmp dirs before creating symlinks. Then you will get expected results
2. Much easier for you to correct this on the website is:

To change cp to mv in this lines

# cd /
# cp var var.old
# cp tmp tmp.old

3. You should change it on the translated sites (not only on ../en/doc/..)
