Hi, I'm using RedHat Linux 7.3 with
$> rpm -q fileutils 
fileutils-4.1-4

Today I moved a file from an ext3-partition to a fat32 one. The Problem
was that there wasn't enough diskspace on the fat32-partition. `mv'
moved it, truncated the file and didn't signal any errors. Of course,
it deleted the file from my ext3-partition ;-(.

I have found this thread in geocrawler, but it only says something
about NFS, not fat32 ...

http://www.geocrawler.com/mail/thread.php3?subject=Fileutils+2.1+-+corrupt+files+on+NFS+filesystems&list=379

So, is this a bug or a "feature"? Or can't you simply do anything
about it because of the partition being fat32?

Adam.
