Public bug reported:
Hi,
I suspect this to be a unionfs issue.
Steps to reproduce:
- Boot on Edgy Live CD i386
- When desktop is ready, open a nautilus window for ~
- Open another window for somewhere deep e.g:
/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/kernel/drivers/usb
- In a terminal, do
cd ~
sudo mv -ft . /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/net
Symptoms:
As expected, the 'net' directory appears in the first nautilus window.
But when doing 'reload', it disappears !
Doing ls in the terminal confirms that: the 'net' directory seems absent.
Additionaly, if the command is invoked again:
sudo mv -ft . /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/net
.. then this error is shown:
mv: cannot move
`/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/net' to a
subdirectory of itself, `./net'
This behavior is extremely nasty for people using the edgy LiveCD as a means to
test things safely :(
Any clue about how to disable unionfs on some mountpoints ?
FYI: I experienced the same kind of qwirks with an 'amd64' LiveCD.
Regards.
