A Netapp NFS server containing a file (xxx) and a snapshot of the file (.snapshot/xxx) will give them the same inode number.
Unfortunately, 'cp .snapshot/xxx xxx' (in order to recover the snapshot version) fails with '... are identical' due to the inode check. Is there some way of bypassing this check? More importantly, is there something in POSIX which says that this check is allowed in the first place? The problem was originally reported against coreutils-4.5.3, but 5.2.1 seems to act in the same way. [Original bug report: RH bug #150112] Thanks, Tim. */
