Can you do the same for without the patch? Also I think keep links out of the examples for now as we need to establish a baseline for the common cases where the file exists or does not exist (toRealPath should fail for all cases where the file does not exist). I suspect the mental model is "hard links" where the real path is not unique. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/27324#issuecomment-3426751086
