Rclone-mount . soft link error

[amit_kertis]

hi all

i am using rclone to do mount to my swift container
i try to do soft-link and i get this error

ln -s softlink.txt softlink2.txt

ln: failed to create symbolic link 'softlink2.txt': Input/output error

do i get this error because rclone mount not support soft-link
or maybe i need to use some flag while doing the mount for support soft-link

is a solution for this or this is a rclone limitation ??

thanks for helping
amit

You can't use links. That's correct.

I believe the [local] backend can follow symlinks if you use the appropriate flag
https://rclone.org/local/

But I have no idea of the mount can interpret this correctly or not - I have never tried.
