Is that expected? > http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/rename.2.html:"If *oldpath* and *newpath* are existing hard links referring to the same file, then *rename*() does nothing, and returns a success status" Personally I think SysFileMove() should never overwrite an existing file (i.e. run as if mv -n was specified), and we should keep SysFileMove() behavior as compatible between OS's.
