[issue40118] os.stat in linux shows the wrong inode

[Ammar Askar]

Ammar Askar  added the comment:

As noted in the documentation for os.stat 
(https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/os.html#os.stat):

> This function normally follows symlinks; to stat a symlink add the argument 
> follow_symlinks=False, or use lstat().

[issue40118] os.stat in linux shows the wrong inode

[omer sela]

New submission from omer sela :

when calling os.stat(fd).st_ino on with a file descriptor of a symbolic link it 
returns the inode of the original file and not of the link (picture attached)
