Why don't you match Unix_error(ENOENT,_,_)?=20

Apart from this, I would really like to have an additional field in query=20
directories for link contents, something like

"select '%%A' as name, '/A_DIR' as link_content"=20

which would return a directory containing a link named A and pointing=20
to "/A_DIR", however this and other similar things will need to be thought =

after many others. I must say that I didn't do many things for relfs recent=

(except for the disambiguation scheme and the extended attributes stuff -=20
try "getfattr -d FILENAME" in relfs for example); I think that your patch=20
should motivate me to get back working on the project :)
