Oh...

No, there is no such file at all, and shouldn’t be, but apache2 tries to check it, hence success=0 case is spammed into 
then logs. Same with .htaccess files that apache2 tries to find in every directory...

I though it is possible to exclude stat calls with that path as argument to the syscall, but if it actually needs 
physical inode... then I guess it makes sense why it does not work for me.

I wanted to _ignore_ some known stat/open failures for non-existant files, to recap.

3.2 and 3.16 for sure, and I believe I tested on Debian Testing so it should be 4.5 currently.

P.S. should I reply to all or just the list?

Thanks.
