> This is fixed by 8b221b64a552d31e241701aa5c6d339287a7a15b on master. The
> problem was occuring inside "deduplicate" procedure of (guix store
> deduplication).
>
> This procedure uses scandir* to check if the path to deduplicate is a
> directory. The problem is that JFS does not support d_type so, the file
> property returned was 'unknown. As this particular case was not handled,
> directories were not detected as such, causing the procedure to call
> "link" on a directory, which was failing.
