https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60676 --- Comment #2 from James Kolb <jck@xxxxxxxxx> --- The stat command (stat(1)) works on the link itself (but you can't go further down the filesystem hierarchy). So, in my previous example, calling "stat /tmp/testlink" and "stat /tmp/testdir/testfile" both work, but "stat /tmp/testlink/testfile" gives a permission error if you are root: > stat: cannot stat `/tmp/testlink/testfile': Permission denied The glibc stat function (stat(2)) does not even work on the link itself. I'm not using SELinux. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
