I'm using a VMWare virtual machine. The host is Windows 8.1 with a NTFS filesystem; the guest is Linux Mint 19. I have a VMWare shared folder set up, so that the guest sees part of the host's filesytem as a mountable filesystem. It is C:\OSPanel\domains
to the host and mounted at /mnt/hgfs/SharedFolder/
in the guest.
How can I create a symbolic link in this shared folder that both host and guest see as a symbolic link? Where the guest sees:
/mnt/hgfs/SharedFolder/node_modules/acorn/bin/acorn → /mnt/hgfs/SharedFolder/node_modules/.bin/acorn
the host sees:
C:\OSPanel\domains\node_modules\acorn\bin\acorn → C:\OSPanel\domains\node_modules\.bin\acorn
I have tried many ways, including ln -s source.txt soft-link.txt
. Nothing works.
