Bedrock hijack makes some directories and its files incompatible with d_type from readdir about bedrocklinux-userland HOT 2 OPEN

Bedrock mounts a FUSE filesystem on /etc. For things like this it's supposed to pass through data from the backing filesystem, but skimming the relevant part of its source it doesn't seem to be making use of d_type anywhere. The per-dirent part of the libfuse API is that filler() function to which we're consistently passing NULL for the third parameter rather than anything interesting. Skimming the relevant part of libfuse's source I think we should be passing a struct stat pointer there with d_type set. (We're not using FUSE_READDIR_PLUS).

Given man 3 readdir indicates

All applications must properly handle a return of DT_UNKNOWN.

I can't justify prioritizing this enough to get to it for a number of weeks, but I do hope to fix this once current time pressures relax. There's a few other small fixes I'm queueing up for point fix in February - I'll see if I can ensure this makes it in then.

Given your excellent description of the issue, I suspect you may have the background to give that a try yourself; if so you're welcome to give it a go.

I see then, no worries though. I'll see if I can give it a try!
