English Amiga Board - View Single Post - symbolic links to dirs are not evaluated when needed

So if on a harddisk (tied to a directory structure on windows) I have a symbolic link to another directory. Then I cant cd into that symbolic link before the directory has been listed.

So:
makedir sys:test/file
Makedir sys_test/link sys:test/file soft

Then reboot and directly:
cd sys:test/link

it will complain that the object doesn't exist

now do:
dir sys:test
cd sys:test/link

and it works, so there obviously is a bug.
