That fallback has been removed. These operations now either use an open file handle, which points directly at the file, or are reported as unavailable.\n\n**Why**\n\nOn systems that used the path-based fallback, these file operations will no longer be done by path and may now be reported as unavailable instead.\n\n- Area: File Operations\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
