Description

External table location is not preserved same as source path when base directory is set as "/".
Source path: /tmp/ext/src/db1/ext1
Target path: /ext/src/db1/ext1 --> It should be /tmp/ext/src/db1/ext1 itself.
External table base dir supplied: /

If the base dir input is changed to "/abc", then target path is set as "/abc/tmp/ext/src/db1/ext1 which is correct.
