Summary

0005244: Autocomplete (tab) doesn't work with symlinks crossing mountpoints

Description

Pressing (tab) when attempting to select a file in a certain directory, I get only the directory and not the files in it.

File System Structure:
/device is a mountpoint of /dev/hda1
this contains a subdirectory for configuration files "cnf"
additionally for easier access, there is a symlink to that directory:
/cnf -> /device/cnf

When I want to edit a file there, I want to type (logged in as root, and in the root dir):
vi c (tab)
-> Autocomplete to:
vi cnf/
-> Type in cnf.f
vi cnf/cnf.f (return)
(and then edit the file)

What really happens:
vi c (tab)
-> Autocomplete to:
vi cnf(space)
Well, not that behaviour as I expect it. In other directories /etc,... this works fine.
It seems to be a problem with mount + symlink, The symlink seems not to be identified as a directory but as a file. But I do not want to edit the directory, only the files in it.
It is not correlated with vi, also cp and all other programs show that.

Best regards,

RX

Notes
(0012774) vda 10-04-08 10:29	It is fixed. I just verified that in current busybox completion works and it adds slash, not space, after link to directory. 21 March 2008 -- BusyBox 1.10.0 (unstable) ... * libbb: filename completion matches dangling symlinks too ... Revision 21814 - (view) (download) (as text) - [select for diffs] Modified Wed Apr 23 21:42:52 2008 PDT (5 months, 1 week ago) by vda File length: 44776 byte(s) Diff to previous 21793 (colored) lineedit: filename completion on symlinks-to-dirs should add / too
