>Description:
Moving a directory from e.g. ffs to msdosfs produces copies the
directory and its contents alright, but then doesn't delete the
original directory.
This is the inverse to bin/8439 (moving from a msdosfs also doesn't
work).
>How-To-Repeat:
mkdir testdir
vi testdir/testfile
(enter some data)
mount /some/dos/device /disk/win98
mv testdir /disk/win98/
produces the following warnings and error:
mv: chown: /disk/win98//testdir/testfile: Invalid argument
mv: chown: /disk/win98//testdir: Invalid argument
mv: /bin/cp: terminated with 1 (non-zero) status: No such file or directory
Copying works (diff -r testdir /disk/win98/testdir is silent), but the
source directory and its contents are not removed.
>Fix:
Don't know.
