| |
I was not sure if this constitutes a bug, but it does look like a change in behavior. I am not sure if this behaviour would break any scripts but it does confuse the hell out of these bits of code:
mkdir testdir cd testdir rm ../testdir if [ -d . ] ; then echo "I see it"; fi if [ -d ../testdir ] ; then echo "I see it"; fi
I get different behavior under 2.0.30 and 2.1.51
Under 2.0.30 the test for "." fails Under 2.1.51 the test for "." succeeds It fails for both kernels when testing for ../testdir
Could this be an artifact of the dcache changes in 2.1.51?
