Subject: cp -up: preserve all hard links
X-Git-Tag: v8.13~51
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f28a09810b7dc11261cb43e2a09726caf9a993b7;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

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.

   I.E. for skipped files, the original ownership is output, not the new one.
   [bug introduced in sh-utils-2.0g]
 
+  cp -u -p would fail to preserve one hard link for each up-to-date copy
+  of a src-hard-linked name in the destination tree.  I.e., if s/a and s/b
+  are hard-linked and dst/s/a is up to date, "cp -up s dst" would copy s/b
+  to dst/s/b rather than simply linking dst/s/b to dst/s/a.
+  [This bug appears to have been present in "the beginning".]
+
   printf '%d' '"' no longer accesses out-of-bounds memory in the diagnostic.
   [bug introduced in sh-utils-1.16]
