Package: libc6 Version: 2.9-26 Severity: normal File: /lib/libc-2.9.so This may be a kernel bug, if so, please reassign.
In the following, /flics is a bind-mount of /srv/flics, as exemplified by the stat output (device number and inode identical). /bin/mv ends up with copy-delete (new inode) rather than rename: vizier:~|master|% stat -c %D/%i /flics /srv/flics fd05/480513 fd05/480513 vizier:~|master|% touch /flics/foo vizier:~|master|% stat -c %D/%i /flics/foo fd05/206081 vizier:~|master|% mv /flics/foo /srv/flics/bar vizier:~|master|% stat -c %D/%i /srv/flics/bar fd05/206082 The problem is this (thanks, strace): rename("/flics/foo", "/srv/flics/bar") = -1 EXDEV (Invalid cross-device link) so rename() does not properly detect that the source and destination directories are actually the same. The problem seems identical for link(). -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libc-bin 2.9-26 GNU C Library: Binaries ii libgcc1 1:4.4.1-4 GCC support library Versions of packages libc6 recommends: ii libc6-i686 2.9-26 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i Versions of packages libc6 suggests: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.27 Debian configuration management sy pn glibc-doc <none> (no description available) ii locales 2.9-26 GNU C Library: National Language ( -- debconf-show failed -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madd...@d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
