Hi.
I was doing a little bit of development work last night and I ran into a
big problem when moving some files around:  when I did an

cd /dosd/Dev/BlahStuff
mv blah.cpp blah2.cpp

it did the move, but blah2.cpp became a directory!!!  Not only that, but
it was a cycle as well, with

/dosd/Dev/BlahStuff/blah2.cpp

pointing to /dosd   and it wasn't a symlink or a hard link either.
/dosd is a FAT16, 2 gig [1st] primary partition, 4 gig FAST SCSI-2
drive,  mounted as VFAT

That was pretty freaky.  Also, I'd noticed some strange behavior earlier
when I copied a file and the destination file
seemed empty (at least when I did a cat, or less on it), but then later
on it synced up and actually had the right stuff in it.


Machine config:
RedHat Linux 5.0, kernel 2.1.131 with SMP=1
SuperMicro P6DLE, dual Pentium-II motherboard with two matched Intel
Pentium-II 300 MHz CPUs overclocked to 375 MHz via 75 MHz bus, 192 megs
PC-100 SDRAM, Adaptec 2940UW, 24X Pioneer SCSI CDROM, Micropolis 4.3 gig
SCSI (/dosd partition lives here), Seagate 6.4 gig UDMA drive (Linux is
installed on 2nd primary partition here), 128 megs swap (primary
partition 3 on UDMA drive),  3Com 3C905-TX ethernet.


Is this a known bug?
Fixes?
Fixed in later 2.1.x kernels?
SMP work ok in the last 2.1.x kernel?
Should I try a 2.2 kernel and is SMP ok in 2.2?
Is there NTFS support yet???

I was planning on redoing the machine anyways with RedHat 5.2 and the
latest 2.1.x kernel.


Thanks.
