           Summary: wrong deviceid if path contains symlinks
           Product: amarok
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: amarok-bugs-dist kde org
        ReportedBy: mereandor gmail com


Version:           1.4 svn (from less than a week ago) (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc-4.2.3 
OS:                Linux

As it seems amarok does not resolve symlinks to get the correct device, thus the \
media management does not work properly (files are dropped from the collection when \
the device is removed, ...). Here is an example to illustrate this:

/media is a symlink to /run/media resides on the /-device, removeable devices are \
mounted under /run/media Now a removable disk is mounted at /run/media/mm. If I add \
this folder to my collection the deviceid is set correctly. But when I add /media/mm \
instead the deviceid is set to the /-device, thus ending in the misbehavior mentioned \
above.

The proper way of handling this would be to compare the realpath of a directory (it's \
path with all symlinks resolved) with the list of realpaths of all mount-points to \
see on which device the data in this directory is stored. \
