| |
Hi all,
unfortunately I have to correct me again. The problem seems unrelated to the kernel version or SMP/UP (though only 2.4.[34] tried yet).
Apparently it's a reiserfs/symlink problem. I tried doing the lndir on an ext2 partition, sources still on reiserfs. And it worked just fine!
Sorry for the rather large amount of noise, I hope it's finally correct now :)
