I was asked to reopen this feature request with additional information. The original writeup can be found in the referenced feature request linked above. The additional requested info:
The file shares are created in the Azure portal as standard file shares, no share-level permissions, 14-day soft delete, 100TiB, maximum compatibility security (the defaults). These files share are mounted to their respective K8S containers via pre-defined PV/PVCs:
pv.yaml
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteMany

secretName: some-secret
secretNamespace: some-ns
shareName: some-share-name

From there, we create the symlinks that are needed on the mounted filesystem using "ln -s".
I really have no idea if this is SMB or NFS. This is how the fileshares are mounted and used.
And I just noticed I need to open a new feature request, so I will do that with this comment.
Repurposing this issue to reference specifically the desire for symlinks to navigate to the target location.
@richardMSFT Let's investigate the possibility of this some more after 1.37.0 lockdown, come up with a plan, and reevaluate for 1.38.0.
Preflight Checklist
Problem
Symlinks are just files in a file share with no special behavior.
Desired Solution
Navigate to the target of a symlink when opened or double-clicked.
Alternatives and Workarounds
