I found a possible cause. dht code ineed takes care of the directory case:
if (IA_ISDIR (oldloc->inode->ia_type)) {
dht_rename_dir (frame, this);
} else {
local->op_ret = 0;
dht_rename_create_links (frame);
}
But if I add a log for oldloc->inode->ia_type, I can see it is IA_IFLNK
and not IA_IFDIR: this checks for the symlink instead of checking the
symlink target, therefore it fails to correctly detect it is a directory.
Opinions?
rename(2) can be performed on a symlink too. Hence, I guess what distribute is doing is valid here.
