How To Symlink Directories? Options

[Capn_Fish]

How do you symlink directories? When I try to cd into a directory I've symlinked, it says "too many layers of symbolic links."

Thanks.

CODE

/stuff#mkdir test
/stuff#ln -s test /test
/stuff#cd /test
-bash: cd: /test: Too many levels of symbolic links
/stuff#

What am I doing wrong, then? There's nothing in the folder.

Try using a full path. I believe ln uses relative paths, which has caused confusing problems for me before. With relative paths, you're linking /test to itself. ln -s /stuff/test /test should accomplish what it seems you're trying to do.
