Hi,

I'm encountering strange behavior of ln when creating symbolic links.
It seems the symbolic link is always placed inside the target directory, pointing to itself.

I'm testing this on an ETFS file system:
# mkdir /fs/etfs/test
# ls -l /fs/etfs/
[..]
drwxrwxrwx  2 root      0                 0 May 13 10:10 test
[..]
# pwd
/fs/etfs
# ln -s link1 /fs/etfs/test
# ls -l link1
ls: No such file or directory (link1)
# ls -l /fs/etfs/test/
total 1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root      0                 5 May 13 10:12 link1 -> link1
# ln -s /fs/etfs/link2 /fs/etfs/test
# ls -l /fs/etfs/link2
ls: No such file or directory (/fs/etfs/link2)
# ls -l /fs/etfs/test
total 2
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root      0                 5 May 13 10:12 link1 -> link1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root      0                14 May 13 10:13 link2 -> /fs/etfs/link2
#

Is this a problem of ln or a file system problem?

Thanks,
 Marc
