Description Lukáš Czerner 2011-11-02 11:59:30 UTC

Description of problem:
when completing path to the devices, the completion will return absolute nonsense.

# mount /de[tab]
# mount /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Epoch       : 1
Version     : 1.3
Release     : 6.fc16

How reproducible:
Every time using completion with mount on my Fedora system

Actual results:

# mount /de[tab]
# mount /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_


Expected results:

# mount /de[tab]
# mount /dev/

Additional info:

This type of completion just does not make sense at all. There is plenty of other devices in /dev/ I want to use and I want my completion to work as expected. This is highly annoying!

In the meantime, whenever you disagree with bash-completion's completions and wish to fall back to what plain bash does, hit Alt+/ instead of Tab to complete.  Or if you want to get rid of bash-completion, just remove the package, or disable it on per user basis according to the instructions in /usr/share/doc/bash-completion*/README
