ls seems to omit failed entries

[nekopsykose]

while working with sshfs:

l = ls -la --color=always

$ l    
ls: soulseek-remote: Socket not connected

soulseek-remote was a (failed) target mount of sshfs ... soulseek-remote. seems when it's in a failed state it's omitted from the output (but just gives a lookup error)

should probably be displayed anyway, perhaps with some missing info(?)

what does gnu ls display?

i briefly looked what it'd take to patch it in and came to the conclusion that it's not important enough to be worth the effort necessary

it's a rare case and you already get an indication of existence at the beginning
