Summary: | Embodiments of the invention relate to providing dynamic absolute-path symbolic links. According to one embodiment, indication of a symbolic link is received, which references a target, the indication including an absolute path of the target that includes a target mount point and a name of the target. A current mount point of the target is identified, and a verification is made that the target mount point is identical to the current mount point. When the target mount point is identical to the current mount point, a string length of the current mount point is determined, and an in-memory record of the symbolic link is created. The in-memory record includes the string length of the current mount point associated with the symbolic link. |
