In my Windows root directory I have several links. This is how they look on the Windows machine's "root". Several months ago I sent an email to this list complimenting you on how they looked. (without user+group) > ll |grep -- '->' lrwxrwxrwx 1 17 Jun 13 2016 Documents -> //Bliss/Documents/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 6 Jul 13 2009 Documents and Settings -> /Users/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 16 Jun 5 2015 FolderChanger -> /m/FolderChanger/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 5 May 13 2017 Home -> Users/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 20 Nov 6 2014 Prog -> /Program Files (x86)/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 13 Apr 21 2013 Prog64 -> Program Files/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 12 Aug 9 2015 ProgD -> /ProgramData/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 2 Apr 17 2017 Share -> /s/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 22 Aug 22 16:08 Symbols -> //Bliss/Share/Symbols// lrwxrwxrwx 1 7 Mar 1 2018 WINNT -> Windows/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 3 May 13 2017 lib64 -> lib/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 3 Jan 12 2014 temp -> tmp/ Now, I'm getting flakiresults -- with them not resolving 1 time, then resolving, then not again...etc. By flakey I mean output like random can't access messages, followed by question marks in all fields of links. # ll|more ls: cannot access 'D': Operation not supported ls: cannot access 'Documents': Operation not supported ls: cannot access 'FolderChanger': Operation not supported ls: cannot access 'Home': Operation not supported ls: cannot access 'lib64': Operation not supported ls: cannot access 'M': Operation not supported ls: cannot access 'P': Operation not supported ls: cannot access 'pagefile.sys': Device or resource busy ls: cannot access 'Prog64': Operation not supported ls: cannot access 'Share': Operation not supported ls: cannot access 'temp': Operation not supported ls: cannot access 'WINNT': Operation not supported d????????? ? ? ?

If I can't resolve them more quickly, is there a know or two to increase cache size and item lifetime? Thanks
