Prior to 5.0.91, ...
The problem:
On a VFAT file system with coreutils-5.0.90, `mv FOO foo' removes the
sole copy of the file named by both the source and destination arguments.
Demonstrate the problem, as root:
cd /tmp \
&& dd if=/dev/zero of=1 bs=8192 count=50 \
&& mkdir mnt && mkfs -t vfat 1 \
&& mount -oloop 1 mnt && cd mnt \
&& printf something important > foo \
&& mv foo FOO
test -f FOO && echo PASS-1 || echo FAIL-1
ln foo bar
mv foo FOO
test -f FOO && echo PASS-2 || echo FAIL-2
And in case you actually do the above, you can do this to clean up:
cd /tmp && umount /tmp/mnt && rm -r 1 mnt
Hey! Can't create hard links on vfat.
The above `ln' evokes an `operation not permitted' failure.
This demonstrates the same thing with file system type `umsdos'
No hard links:
cd /tmp \
&& dd if=/dev/zero of=1 bs=8192 count=50 \
&& mkdir mnt && mkfs -t msdos 1 \
&& mount -t umsdos -oloop 1 mnt && cd mnt \
&& printf something important > foo \
&& mv foo FOO
test -f FOO && echo PASS-1 || echo FAIL-1
ln foo bar
mv foo FOO
test -f FOO && echo PASS-2 || echo FAIL-2
