Is possible to make symbolic links in the android filesystem? (and how?)


(My Android version is 2.1 , I'm using Motorola Defy.)



Answer




Android does support symbolic links, but certain file systems (e.g. FAT or RFS) do not and you cannot create symbolic links in those partitions. If your device uses a filesystem that supports symbolic links (e.g. ext2, ext3, ext4, yaffs2) then you should be able to use ln -s from the Terminal Emulator.
