I just found an issue where coreutils-6.9 does not seem to work right with the --preserve=timestamps switch when copying to an nfs filesytem when the pwd is the same directory.
I had a copy of the coreutils-5.0 available and it worked fine. cd /some/nfs/mounted/directory ll file -rw-rw-r-- 1 warrend fusion2 6402 Aug 14 13:51 file GNU/Linux RH4, coreutil-6.9, coreutils-5.0 /bin/cp --preserve=timestamps file /tmp/file_1 /tools/wdtgnu/coreutils-6.9/bin/cp --preserve=timestamps file /tmp/file_2 /tools/wdtgnu/coreutils-5.0/bin/cp --preserve=timestamps file /tmp/file_3 /bin/cp --preserve=timestamps file ./file_1 /tools/wdtgnu/coreutils-6.9/bin/cp --preserve=timestamps file ./file_2 /tools/wdtgnu/coreutils-5.0/bin/cp --preserve=timestamps file ./file_3 ls -al /tmp/file_1 /tmp/file_2 /tmp/file_3 ./file_1 ./file_2 ./file_3 -rw-rw-r-- 1 warrend fusion2 6402 Aug 14 13:51 ./file_1 -rw-rw-r-- 1 warrend fusion2 6402 Aug 14 14:14 ./file_2 < BAD -rw-rw-r-- 1 warrend fusion2 6402 Aug 14 13:51 ./file_3 -rw-rw-r-- 1 warrend fusion2 6402 Aug 14 13:51 /tmp/file_1 -rw-rw-r-- 1 warrend fusion2 6402 Aug 14 13:51 /tmp/file_2 -rw-rw-r-- 1 warrend fusion2 6402 Aug 14 13:51 /tmp/file_3 _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
