That it does not follow symlinks is imho simply a bug. Probably the fact that ruby's File.ftype does not follow links came as a surprise to the author (as possibly to nearly everybody). File.blockdev? || File.file? would do the trick, I guess. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
