We need to make a softlink to other server on AIX and when doing accordingly to guide in cmd occurs an error
mklink /D \\10.0.0.10\folder C:\folder
and it returns - The request is not supported
But vice versa
mklink /D C:\folder \\10.0.0.10\folder
it says - symbolic link created for C:/folder .......
What can be the issue here ?
symlink is a filesystem feature. The windows command mklink can only create it on a NTFS filesystem (and maybe ReFS, I don't have experience with that).
A remote filesystem (especially one that is served by a unix system) is not NTFS, so it can't create a symlink there.
Sadly, the official documentation lacks any information about that, but the Wikipedia page is pretty detailed.
