Indeed does not work. It only happens when my.file is a file newly created by the shell. If one forwarded output to an existing file, vn_fullpath() returns name just fine. For my purposes the Linux/DragonFly functionality is needed. Is there a way to know that once a patch that correctly resolves corner cases for vn_fullpath() (including name cache changes) exists it will be committed to the 5.x branch? It appears that these changes would require serious labor changing the name cache. Who would be the right person to even decide that these can/cannot be applied to a stable tree? Igor.
