ln: failed to create symbolic link

Hi,

Here is my configuration :

- host OS : ESXi 5

- guest OS : Linux Mint 18

- windows server with shared disk

In my Linux Mint 18 I mount a shared disk from the Windows Server with autofs and cifs

My linux user has read/write permission on this disk.

No problem to create files and directories on it.

But if I try to create a symbolic link from a file to another one on this shared disk from my linux I have this error message :

"ln: failed to create symbolic link 'myFile.txt': Operation not supported"

I try with sudo but same message.

How to fix this ?

Thanx

Fabrice
