I think your attempt didn't capture all the relevant parts of the bug. Here's how I reproduced it, both with coreutils 5.2.1 and with CVS coreutils. On my host, /tmp and /home are different file systems; this is a crucial part of the bug. ulimit -n 1024 cd /home/eggert/junk mkdir foo /tmp/foo cd foo for f in $(seq 1 1500); do mkdir $f; touch $f/f; done mv * /tmp/foo The output is: mv: cannot create regular file `/tmp/foo/566/f': Too many open files mv: cannot create regular file `/tmp/foo/567/f': Too many open files mv: cannot create regular file `/tmp/foo/568/f': Too many open files ... _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
