Raspberry Pi OS • Symbolic links on /boot - How is that possible?

$

Hi !

I have a Pi5 with the latest bookworm image. And there is a vfat / FAT32 partition for boot.
This partition contains some links to folders and file. How is this possible?

I have an additional NVMe SSD attached. If I create a fat32 partition and try to create a symbolic link I got an error:

Code:

pi@Pi5Test:~/cpmnt $ sudo ln -s test test2ln: failed to create symbolic link 'test2': Operation not permitted
This makes sense because fat32/vfat does not support links.

But there are links on /boot and you can create new links as well.
Can anyone explain how this is possible?

background ... I try to clone the SD to NVMe and struggle to rsync the symbolic links ...
