Hi All.
Recently I bought a new laptop for usability purpose of my wife I created some folders by Name C:\ D:\ E:\ and mounted 3 partitions (as she is a win user), lately I have observed if hit tab againt these 3 dir , it does not exposes files/dir which is contained. Which generally doesnot happens.
Log Snippet

| |er.ca--- Comment #1 from Andreas Dilger ([email protected]) --- This has nothing to do with ext4, but rather "bash-completion".
I suspect that including "\" into the directory name will make a lot of tools unhappy, so it would be better to name these directories just "C:", "D:", "E:", since you will need to use "/" as the pathname separator anyway, and "C:\/dir/file" is going to get old quickly.
