Are you sure the needed functionality is implemented?
I tried that, it does not work (with a retry name of ""); the user
keeps the underlying node, he doesn't get the target of a symbolic
link, nor does he get the port to a translator running on that node.
In libdiskfs/dir-lookup.c the case where path is "" is handled
specially; the user simply gets the same node again, to which he sent
the dir_lookup RPC. Neither the part of resolving symbolic links, nor
the part of fetching translator root ports is used in that case:
if (path[0] == '\0')
{
/* Set things up in the state expected by the code from gotit: on. */
dnp = 0;
np = dircred->po->np;
mutex_lock (&np->lock);
diskfs_nref (np);
goto gotit;
}
I also wonder how to resolve relative, symbolic links when dir_lookup
has no reference to the directory containing the node, for which the
user did a ""-lookup.
