They do not, but if it's a bind mount from a different filesystem you
would
color it as a mount point, and if it's a bind mount from elsewhere
within the
same filesystem you would not, introducing more inconsistent behavior.
Interesting.
Quite frankly, as the person who proposes a new feature to be
introduced, which also isn't straightforward, you should be doing more
research yourself. Please, don't get me wrong, I'm just trying to help
by describing the usual way new features are proposed.
and under that implementation
wouldn't -L make symlinks show up as mount points?
Without additional checking (i.e. additional calls to stat() and/or
lstat(), and maybe realpath()), a symlink to a path on a different
filesystem would appear as a mountpoint.
One option would be to disable all colorization of mountpoints when -L
is specified. (More inconsistent behavior?)
Just as you described, that would introduce inconsistent behavior and
would simply be unacceptable.
