Re: [PATCH 1/7] cifs: Add mount option -o reparse=native
From: Steve French
Date: Mon Oct 07 2024 - 00:28:53 EST
This is a good point about how to override the "native" symlink format
when using reparse=nfs (a similar question could come up, if for
security reasons you use "mfsymlinks" for symlinks - ie "client side
symlinks" (which are safer) - but use reparse=nfs for everything else.
But ... there is probably a better way to handle the mount option
for default symlink creation format more clearly (perhaps use of
"nativesymlinks" (default) or "mfsymlinks" if specified, overrides
"reparse=wsl" or "reparse=nfs" for symlink format only. User can
specify "nativesymlinks=no" if they want to use the "reparse=" format
for symlinks. For the sfu case it might be trickier but could fall
back to sfu symlinks if "nativesymlinks=no" or if they fail?!
Thoughts?
