Problems with soft links when sharing folders between OS-X (host) and Ubuntu (guest)

Hi,

Being a Linux user, I recently have to use OS-X and Linux (Ubuntu) in parallel.

I therefore installed Parallels 7 on my MacBook and installed Ubuntu as guest system.

I then created on my Mac a ~/home folder and on the Ubuntu system a link called ~/home as well to the corresponding directory in the "Parallels Shared Folders". After I copied all my data from an external harddisk to the Ubuntu ~/home directory with rsync.

Looking at the result from the MAC side, I had to realize, that unfortunately all soft links where ignored...

The data therefore is pretty much unusable and sharing it between my mac and the linux systems does not work :(

Is this a bug? Have I done something wrong? Is there another, better way to deal with this problem?

Thanks for your help,

Dietrich
 
Nfs

Could NFS be an option?

How can I setup an NFS server on the host system and access it from the linux virtual machine?

Thanks, Dietrich
