WD My Cloud Single Bay
Firmware Ver 4+
OpenElec → Kodi on RaspberryPi 3+
EDIT: (Removed ln test1 test2 description as it is the expected behavior)
If I do soft links across volumes, like
ln -s "/shares/Marshal_3TB_USB3/TV/Movies/Platinum Blonde_WGBODT2_2015_05_20_20_29_00.wtv" "/shares/Public/Recorded_TV/Kodi/Movies/MNOP/P/Platinum Blonde_WGBODT2_2015_05_20_20_29_00.wtv"
It works, I get
# ls -l Plat*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 82 Apr 6 17:41 Platinum Blonde_WGBODT2_2015_05_20_20_29_00.wtv -> /shares/Marshal_3TB_USB3/TV/Movies/Platinum Blonde_WGBODT2_2015_05_20_20_29_00.wtv
BUT, using OpenElec on RaspberryPi 3+ to run Kodi, The file shows up in the Kodi file viewer, but is listed as a Zero byte file and it will not play.
I have googled some for this problem, and have seen that this could be an issue with RPi, OpenELEC, NFS (and other mounting network mounting options) OR even Kodi.
FWIW, the output of mount :
