Creating a synthetic symlink to an unmounted volume makes you sad

If you create a synthetic symlink in /etc/synthetic.conf. to a volume that mounts after login, you cannot login to MacOS. It just loops back to the login screen. This means symlinks to servers or volumes mounted from a disk image cannot have synthetic symlinks. This makes me sad :(

Don’t get sad, get even file a bug (-:

Seriously though, it’d be great to have a bug report that explain why you need this. It’s not something I’ve seen crop up before.

Please post your bug number, just for the record.
