Description

Hello

while moving a folder "space-projetA", containing several FreeStyle jobs, into a parent folder "entity-projects", i faced a weird issue with build results folder copy on local file system.

It seems like when copying, Jenkins is dereferencing symlinks (lastStableBuild, ...) and replacing by symlink target content.

It also fails when symlink does not point to anything (ex: lastFailedBuild -> -1)

We are using the system property https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/managing/system-properties/#jenkins-model-jenkins-buildsdir to store build results on a dedicated drive:

-Djenkins.model.Jenkins.buildsDir=/sd/jenkins_builds/jenkins/${ITEM_FULL_NAME}/builds

 Error on jenkins logs is the following:

Hopefully, it is possible to fix the problem by going on the file system and performing a manual "cp -ar "
