Symbolic Links between seperate machines

[bacontest]

Hey, I was wondering if anyone had a workaround for the core count available by NFO when trying to link files between machines. Is there some sort of way to do a Symlink without using a 3rd party service such as Google Drive or Dropbox? I run ARK: Survival Evolved servers and need a way to link 2 machines together, more or less just a few files or so (literally just player, dino and item upload data) I believe it's actually just 1 folder that needs to be Symlinked. Anyway, here is a couple threads about what I am talking about.

EDIT: Ark requires 2 cores 4 threads for what I want, we have 4 servers on 1 dedicated 6 core. We think it's what is causing the crashes and need to either remove a server or do this symlinking.

If anyone has a thread on how to do this specifically, please let me know. Thanks for any input.

I'm not too familiar with how ARK clustering works, but you can use the below command to make a symbolic link from an UNC path.

Code: Select all

mklink /D "C:\temp11111" \\server\share\foldername\

I'm not sure how the ARk servers will react if the files need to be accessed and/or written to at the same time however. If that presents a problem, you may want to look into doing some other copying mechanism that will only copy the files independently of each other.
