Thank you very much for your help. Unfortunately using 'ln' doesn't help. Anyway... I will try avoid using 9p filesystem on this server for now. Best regards, Teodor Sava

Yes. The virtual users folder resides on the virtio-9p filesystem.
The bug seems to be that link(2) returns EXDEV.
Looking at the code for link in 9pfs, it seems wrong to me (why is it passing "" for the oldpath argument?)

My suggestion would be that you try using the 'ln' command on a 9pfs filesystem, and if it doesn't work as expected report it as a bug to upstream qemu.
