Thank you for the report. fileutils-4.1 is well over two years old. You may want to use a newer version of those tools.
mv of coreutils-5.0.90 (and of coreutils-5.0) works fine: (coreutils is the union of fileutils, textutils, and sh-utils) $ mkdir tmp; touch A tmp/A tmp/B; ln A B; ls -ogi A B 2262340 -rw-r--r-- 5 0 Aug 14 11:43 A 2262340 -rw-r--r-- 5 0 Aug 14 11:43 B $ mv -f A B tmp $ ls -ogi tmp/* 2262340 -rw-r--r-- 5 0 Aug 14 11:43 A 2262340 -rw-r--r-- 5 0 Aug 14 11:43 B YOKOTA Yoshinori / £Ä ÁÁ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I use 'mv' of fileutils-4.1 on Debian GNU/Linux woody. > I realized that 'mv' cannot rename hard link files. ... _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
