Package: perl-modules
Version: 5.10.0-19lenny2
Severity: normal
I use File::Copy to copy() and move() files from one directory to another, both
being NFS-mounts. However, information about ownership and accessrights is lost
in the process. I've tested this on following systems:
* Debian Etch, perl-5.8.8, File::Copy 2.09
* Debian Lenny, backported perl-5.10, File::Copy 2.11
* Debian Squeeze, perl-5.10.1, File::Copy 2.14
* Debian Squeeze, perl-5.12.1, File::Copy 2.18
Results are the same on all systems.
How to repeat:
root@dev-gertjan1 /home # mkdir a
root@dev-gertjan1 /home # mkdir b
root@dev-gertjan1 /home # mount -t nfs nfshost:/fs1 a
root@dev-gertjan1 /home # mount -t nfs nfshost:/fs2 b
root@dev-gertjan1 /home # touch a/banaan
root@dev-gertjan1 /home # chown gertjan:gertjan a/banaan
root@dev-gertjan1 /home # chmod 600 a/banaan
root@dev-gertjan1 /home # ll a/banaan b/banaan
ls: cannot access b/banaan: No such file or directory
-rw------- 1 gertjan gertjan 0 Dec 10 12:37 a/banaan
root@dev-gertjan1 /home # perl -MFile::Copy -e 'warn $File::Copy::VERSION; warn
copy "a/banaan", "b/banaan";'
2.18 at -e line 1.
1 at -e line 1.
root@dev-gertjan1 /home # ll a/banaan b/banaan
-rw------- 1 gertjan gertjan 0 Dec 10 12:37 a/banaan
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 10 14:07 b/banaan
As you can see, b/banaan has now root:root as owner and is chmod 644, versus
gertjan:gertjan and chmod 600 under a/.
I hope I'm not overlooking anything, but this behaviour doesn't seem right :).
I've demonstrated the behaviour for copy(), but move() does exactly the same,
probably because copy() is used internally since a rename is not possible.
I've also reported this bug to rt.perl.org:

It seems that upstream thinks that this is working as intended, so I
will close this bug report accordingly.
Thanks for getting in touch!
