Symlinks ignored

Hello, I’m using Syncthing between my Ubuntu notebook (Syncthing version 1.4.2) and my ARM-based router with entware (Syncthing version 1.1.4). Generally it’s syncing quite good, I’m syncing about 100GB of data. What I can’t figure out is why my symlinks get ignored by Syncthing: everything results “in sync”, despite symlinks not being synced at all. They are simply ignored.

Both the router and the notebook use an EXT3 file system. The setup is:

  • notebook = send only
  • router = receive only

As far as I understand the FAQ says:

Symbolic Links (synced, except on Windows, but never followed.)

Do you have any advice? Thanks
