Host has various /etc directories symlinked to a config git repo. Running
"virt-filesystems -a ./somevm.qcow2" fails with parent directory not found.
Commands ran as root. Filesystem is ZFS and /etc is same dataset as /.
Can Workaround by replacing symlink with regular copied directory.
OS: Debian Sid
virt-filesystems 1.52.3
supermin 5.2.2
Reproduce, command is from above virt-filesystems with "LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1
LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1"
