Fixed In Version: sos-2.2-18.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
* Previous versions of the sos package did not correctly handle the targets of symbolic links when copying files and directories into the report * Under some circumstances "dangling" symbolic links could appear in the report directory structure * The library routines dealing with file copying have been fixed to always copy symbolic link targets when a requested path contains a symbolic link * The sosreport command now properly handles symbolic link targets and will always collect the target of links when available
