Subject: mv in boot-floppies does not work reliably
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.3.96.1000128113618.2470A-100000@cantor.unex.es>
X-Debian-Cc: sanvila@unex.es
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.5
Severity: grave
The "mv" command in the boot floppies is not reliable enough for moving
existing directories.
I have done the following to reproduce this: Downloaded root.bin
from the disks-i386 directory, renamed it to root.bin.gz, gunzip it, and
mount it on /mnt using the loop device. Then I do the following:
mkdir test
cd test
mkdir a b
/mnt/bin/mv a b
ls b [ at this point, nothing is shown ]
The `a' directory disappears!
The mv command in slink's boot floppies used to work.
Since this bug may cause data loss, I tag it as "grave".
Thanks.
