Thanks for the report. That's been fixed in snapshots only since 2007-10-05. Here's the corresponding NEWS entry: A cross-partition "mv /etc/passwd ~" (by non-root) now prints a reasonable diagnostic. Before, it would print this: "mv: cannot remove `/etc/passwd': Not a directory". _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
