However, the linkback can be forced even if the target doesn't exist.
Using the -f flag of the LINKBACK directive will cause the
link back to the target to be created even if the target doesn't
exist at boot time.
Since oneSIS creates these links before any other system
initialization is done, remote filesystems specified in
/etc/fstab are typically not mounted yet. The -f flag can be
especially useful to point to locations on a network filesystem that
have not been mounted yet.
