The problem is the following - I`ve created a symbolic link to a folder /home/user1/folder1 in /home/user2/. When user2 follows this link, he comes to the /home/user1/folder1, but when he goes up folder he comes to /home/user1/ not /home/user2/. Is it possible to change this behavior?

Thanks. Solved by mount --bind

i found something on my linux systems i don't understand.
The files /var/spool/mail/root and /var/mail/root point to the same inode but the link count is 1. This is the same on a ubuntu and a centos server.
When i create hardlinks to a file the hardlink count increases with every new file.
Why is the link count just one?
That is because /var/mail is a symbolic link to /var/spool/mail.

By using "ln -s a b", it creates a soft-link from b to a with a relative path. If 'b' is moved to another directory, it would get broken.
Is there any way so I can create an link with an absolute path?
Simply use the full path to the link target:
ln -s /full/path/to/a b

I have a softlink mistakenly created as this:
/backup_rmbeir1 -> /backup_rmbeir1
I want to delete the soft link now. If I do :
rm /backup_rmbeir1
will this delete the link, or the actual file ? If not what will be the best way to achieve this ? I tried the unlink command but didn't help.
The soft link is /backup/backup_rmbeir1, so delete that by rm /backup/backup_rmbeir1.
