Export with overwrite fails with OS error 17

Open zanish opened this issue 8 months ago • 1 comments

Hello, it seems the --overwrite option is failing along with any option that adds symlinks with the following error : Export - Error creating a symlink: File exists (os error 17)

The full command used is the command that is present in the documentation as an example with the addition of the --overwrite option

./dsc export -a --date-links --folder-links --folder-delimiter "/" --tag-links --overwrite --target /export

The backend file system is Unraid shared across CIFS into proxmox so it's possible the error lies in that and not with DSC itself.

Thank you.

Sorry for the long delay. i think on cifs you need to explicitly enable symlinks (if it is supported). Perhaps this is not the case? can you create symlinks manually in /export?
