New submission from jort bloem: When using shutil.move() between mounts (i.e. when it does a copy/delete), running as root, ownership should be maintained.
To test: log in as root, create a file owned by a regular user. In python, use shutil.move() to move it to another mountpoint. Check that the ownership of the moved file is the same as the ownership of the original file. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 272001 nosy: jort.bloem priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Linux shutil.move between mountpoints as root does not retain ownership type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27687> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
