Hello, Has anyone else experienced this problem : Following a system corruption I was upgrading certain packages. Being occasionally methodical I did this in alphabetic order, moving rpm'd files to a directory called 'done'. I reached the letter 'd' (bear with me here !). On doing ls d* (not being on LSD) I kept getting the contents of 'done' as well. Hmmm ! thought I, I know, I'll move 'done' to 'Done'. I typed 'mv done Done'. After a long pause the prompt came back with the message that 'done' could not be copied recursively. That's okay, I seen that before, but why the long pause ? On doing 'ls Done' all the rpm's were in there. So being a suspicious sort I did 'ls done', and all the rpm's were still in there as well. 'ls -l' revealed that they were all the same sizes. I assumed that 'mv' had done a 'cp' so I did a 'rm done/*' and everything from 'Done' also disappeared ! CRAP, and this following a complete systems failure. Did 'rmdir done' and 'Done' disappeared as well. What happened ? I was stunned. I have never known 'mv' to do this before. I am using bash 2.04-2mdk Owen
