Is the symlink not giving you any trouble for faxrcvd and notify? The Symlink is working fine.
Because hardlinks cannot span separate filesystems, you have two options:
- symbolic links
- mount
---
$ man 2 link
..
CONFORMING TO
SVr4, 4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001 (but see NOTES).
NOTES
Hard links, as created by link(), cannot span file systems. Use sym‐
link(2) if this is required.
