Just found this (Gambas 2 project) when copying several students from one class into another. For each student, there are about 6 files to be copied from one directory into another. The first one will always get standard chgrp and chown of the application's user. The other files SOMETIMES are copied with correct group and ownership, MOSTLY not.
All files have special group and ownership, controlling if teachers or only the office can access the data. Now, this is the function that does the actual copy: 'kopiert alle Dateien eines Namens in eine andere Kartei '- ziel ist der Zielpfad '- wenn eine gleichnamige Datei schon vorhanden ist, kommt "-1" zurück '- wenn es geklappt hat, kommt "0" zurück 'wird z. B. von dlgNamenKopieren benutzt PUBLIC FUNCTION NamenKopieren(schlyssel AS String, ziel AS String) AS Integer DIM original AS String DIM odatei AS String DIM opfad AS String DIM datei AS String original = getFilename(schlyssel) odatei = file.BaseName(original) opfad = file.Dir(original) IF Exist(ziel &/ odatei & ".felder") THEN RETURN -1 END IF FOR EACH datei IN Dir(opfad, odatei & ".*") COPY opfad &/ datei TO ziel &/ datei NEXT RETURN 0 END Do you see anything wrong here? As it sometimes works correctly I would actually think that it's a bug in copy. The filesystem is ext3.
