Not sure what you're on about. I just symlinked a file on the container inside a folder that was mapped to the host and nothing bad happened. Of course the host couldn't see the content of the file, but I was able to remove the file with no errors.

If I recall correctly this is a problem with virtualbox and not docker and it's only if the symlink is made in a specific way, like how npm makes symlinks.

I don't use Docker anywhere, but curious - what would happen?
