Once every other day I get a error such as
$ cp foo bar
cp: `foo' and `bar' are the same file
when in fact they are not.
I assume this is due to mapping AFS inodes (or whatever the AFS
equivalent is called) into UFS inodes failes to produce unique UFS
inodes. `ls -i foo bar' proves the theory, and I tend to use
$ rm bar
$ cp foo bar
to work around it.
Since I've never seen this when using a AFS client from another vendor
I wonder whether this is something that can be (or is being) improved
in arla?
Thanks
