Hi! Even though this isn't a unix/linux list I wanted to confirm that mv is an atomic operation in linux (that means, if the file entry appears in destination directory, is the file *immediately* *fully* accessible and with full original attributes or is there a tiny chance, that the file appears with size 0 or whatever similar difference first?). I'm writing a small archive log handling mechanism and just want to confirm it. I've seen few references about it being atomic in regular unixes, but haven't seen any for linux.
