Troubleshooting • Re: Samba share with symbolic links fails on windows PC

Almost certainly a server configuration issue. Neither Windows nor the smb protocol understand symbolic links.

You need to do at least two things:
Three things, you missed that the OP is using buster, which means Samba 4.9.5, this is an ancient version of Samba, so I suggest the OP upgrades their OS to bookworm and use Samba from backports. If they have found a bug in Samba, they have zero chance of getting it fixed in 4.9.5

As for symlinks, well, they are evil and really shouldn't be used, there is just too much danger. I wouldn't come to rely on them, because when Samba finally drops SMBv1, it is likely that symlinks will go with it.
