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
Fixed upstream with commit

which is in libguestfs >= 1.29.4.

Comment 4 yuliu 2014-11-11 08:07:21 UTC
Version: libguestfs-1.28.1-1.9.el7.x86_64

Steps:
><fs> ls /test/ 
><fs> 

works fine. Verified.
