Fixed In Version: libguestfs-1.28.1-1.7.el7 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Using Tab-completion in guestfish on guests with the XFS file system did not correctly append the slash ("/") symbol to directory names. This update adjusts guestfish to properly distinguish files and directories on this file system, and thus fixes the problem.

This is something that bothered me for a while, but I haven't found a reliable way to reproduce it. Indeed the file system (xfs in this case) is the key; patch posted:

Comment 2 Pino Toscano 2014-10-31 17:17:16 UTC
