From f28a09810b7dc11261cb43e2a09726caf9a993b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering Date: Mon, 25 Jul 2011 11:31:01 +0200 Subject: cp -up: preserve all hard links * src/copy.c (copy_internal): With --update (-u), this function would return early once it found that the destination is not older than the source, *without* recording the source-dev/ino--to--dest_name mapping. That mapping is required in order to preserve src hard links in the destination tree, so when using cp with --update and --preserve=links (perhaps via -p or -a), cp could fail to preserve one hard link per inode when at least one of the hard-linked names already exists in the destination tree. Reported by Odd Harry Mannsverk in http://debbugs.gnu.org/8419. * tests/cp/preserve-link: New file. Exercise the flaw/fix. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. --- tests/cp/preserve-link | 40 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 40 insertions(+) create mode 100755 tests/cp/preserve-link (limited to 'tests/cp/preserve-link') diff --git a/tests/cp/preserve-link b/tests/cp/preserve-link new file mode 100755 index 000000000..d0da87356 --- /dev/null +++ b/tests/cp/preserve-link @@ -0,0 +1,40 @@ +#!/bin/sh +# Exercise the fix for http://debbugs.gnu.org/8419 + +# Copyright (C) 2011 Free Software Foundation, Inc. + +# This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify +# it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by +# the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or +# (at your option) any later version. + +# This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, +# but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of +# MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
