Description Ondrej Vasik 2012-04-13 18:47:36 UTC

Description of problem:
"df" command does not display target device information when
a symbolic link is specified as a parameter.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Execute "df" command with a symbolic link as a parameter
   for indicating device.

   ex.
   # df /dev/disk/by-uuid/322f18fe-6d3e-4d9f-84a7-42be969d36f4
  
Actual results:
Information about the file system on which file resides is shown.

Expected results:
With --dereference option, symlink is dereferenced and information for the device is shown.
