TBH I think these tests (g/453 and g/454) are probably only useful for filesystems that allow unrestricted byte streams for names. > 2.

"/" is a path separator, it should always return ENOENT (unless you created $SCRATCH_MNT/test-453/urk/moo.txt). 0x2f is the ascii encoding for a slash. > So as per above all the results, it seems like using \x2f fails for all but > \xc0\xaf does work for JFS. <nod> --D > > > > > > > Box filename also fails with "Invalid argument" error. > > > > > >
