> Can I please get a review of this change which proposes to fix the issue noted in https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8294193?
> 
> As discussed in a related PR https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/10266#issuecomment-1246800456, this is a genuine bug in the `java.nio.file.Files.createDirectories` implementation. The commit in this PR fixes that by making sure that links are followed when checking if a `Path` is a directory during the creation of directories in the `createDirectories` implementation. The `private` method which is changed in this PR is only used in the `Files.createDirectories` and no other place, so this change should not impact any other code. Additionally a new test has been added to reproduce the issue and verify the fix.
> tier1, tier2 and tier3 tests passed with this change.
