Hi Folks,

We are using samba 3.6.12 stack. looks like we are unable to create the
symbolic links. They failing with status "not a reparse point"

X:\>mklink /D X:\lnk_file X:\FOO\BAR
The file or directory is not a reparse point.

Packet capture shows that specific IOCTL call is failing
STATUS_NOT_A_REPARSE_POINT
error.

107 3.135447000 x.x.x.x y.y.y.y SMB2 258 Ioctl Request FILE_SYSTEM
Function:0x0029 File: lnk_file
108 3.138991000 y.y.y.y x.x.x.x SMB2 143 Ioctl Response, Error:
STATUS_NOT_A_REPARSE_POINT

"follow symlinks = yes" is still enabled.

Is there any other options that I need to enable symlink file creation
support?

Thanks,
Hemanth.
