Hi Arb, I think you must be referring to CR 6894681, where the xattrs of the newer release on the 7410 are not handled correctly on the older Solaris 10 systems.
The mv command might be 40+ years old but xattrs are much younger, and the special xattr features that are causing this issue are very recent. This CR is getting the attention it needs. Until this CR integrates, you might try using cp and rm instead of mv to workaround the xattr problem. Thanks, Cindy On 10/27/10 12:07, arb wrote:
Does anyone have any idea when the Solaris mv command is going to be fixed? This bug is a complete pain because I've got terabytes of files on a Sun 7410 system yet I can't mv files between its shares. I know I shouldn't be relying on a command which is new to unix/solaris but I figured after ~40 years it might have got out of beta ;-) (P.S. I can't turn the server down to NFSv3 from NFSv4 because that instantly breaks *all* clients. Yet remounting *every* share on *every* client is the only other workaround and as you can imagine that's also a complete pain. Instead can Oracle fix this critical bug?)
