#4141 closed bug (fixed)

Incorrect error returned when creating symlinks on a filesystem that does not support them

Description

This is hrev31843. When trying to create a symlink on a filesystem that does not support them (i.e. the fs_create_symlink hook is NULL), EROFS is returned. It should probably return B_UNSUPPORTED instead.

/fatfs> ln -s somefile somelink
ln: creating symbolic link `somelink': Read-only file system
