To reproduce: mkdir /tmp/zzz mknod /tmp/pipe p cp -dpuxv --parents --backup=numbered /tmp/pipe /tmp/zzz
/tmp -> /tmp/zzz/tmp `/tmp/pipe' -> `/tmp/zzz/tmp/pipe' <hangs here> Oddly, this invocation does work: cp -auxv /tmp/pipe /tmp/zzz `/tmp/pipe' -> `/tmp/zzz/pipe' This is fileutils 4.1 from Redhat rpm fileutils-4.1-10.i386.rpm running on linux 2.4.18 with low latency patch I hope this is useful Andrew _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
