Depending on the environment a symlink looks exactly like the folder pointed to ORQuote
what's the point of having a shortcut like that when you could just as easily link the actual folder?
it looks like a shortcut.
The complete configuration points always to /opt/piratebox/share
If that folder is on the same partition like opt/piratebox , or it is a symlink to a different folder & filesystem or another partition is mounted to /opt/piratebox/share - that makes no further configuration changes needed.
