I have laravel homestead running on a windows 10 machine.
From an Admin CMD or Git Bash prompt when i run the following from the project root folder on local machine:
ln -sr storage/app/public public/storage
A storage directory is created but when i ssh into virtual machine it is highlighted as blue with a green background meaning its a normal directory and not a symlink - symlinks are highlighted as blue in ubuntu.
I know its not working because when I add a file into storage/app/public it does not appear in public/storage
Please note running vagrant ssh into project and running php artisan storage:link gives input/output error hence using the above method
Any ideas why this is happening?
