Hi, Since 7.1 I'm seeing an error message with mv when attempting to move files from filesystems mounted on swap (such as /tmp and /var/run). I've only been able to test on sparc Solaris and see the issue on Solaris 8 and 9 but not on 10.
To reproduce: root>touch /tmp/a root>mv /tmp/a . mv: preserving permissions for `./a': Invalid argument The mv of the file does work though. I don't see the problem when moving files within standard filesystems, or when moving a file to /tmp or within /tmp - only when moving from /tmp to a standard filesystem.
