The linked file is definitely on the same file system. However I just revisited what breaks with the symlinks in my case and you hit the nail on the head. SVCNAME is picking up the name of the linked file and not the name of the originating link in /etc/init.d. In our case that's not the service name. I'm a little confused as to why that doesn't happen, for example, with net.eth0 -> net.lo just because it's in the same directory.
EDIT: I just noticed that this is expressly listed under BUGS in "man openrc-run":
| Code: | Because of the way we load our configuration files and the need to handle more
than one service directory, you can only use sym‐ links in service directories
to other services in the same directory. You cannot symlink to a service in a
different directory even if it is another service directory. |
