#50676 [Bgs]: rename across Volumes throws warning "Operation not permitted"

ID: 50676 User updated by: andreas at heigl dot org Reported By: andreas at heigl dot org Status: Bogus Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 PHP Version: 5.3.1 New Comment: I understand, that rename can only operate on the same volume (like the move-command). But unlike in windows on a Mac (as on any other UNIX-like environment) volumes can be mount anywhere in the folder-hirachy, so that it is rather difficult to check whether source and target of the rename are on the same volume or not. And as I pointed out in the original bug-report, the source-file actually is deleted, so there is no need for the error message.

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php rename() can only work "normally" when operating on the same volume. In your case it emulates rename via copy & delete. I would guess since it cannot delete file from the original volume, it gives you an error message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-01-11 12:59:23] p dot szalko at gmail dot com The same bug is in PHP 5.2.11 and Mac OS X 10.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-01-06 10:16:00] andreas at heigl dot org Description: ------------ When renaming files acros Volumes a warning is triggered that the "Operation is not permitted. The operation is executed though. Reproduce code: --------------- - Create two images and mount them (Image1, Image2). - Disable the 'Ignore Owner'-Feature on both of them and set permissions so the WebServer can access the files. - Add a file to one of the mounted volumes (touch /Volumes/Image1/testfile) ini_set ( 'error_reporting', E_ALL ); ini_set ( 'display_errors', true ); rename ( '/Volumes/Image1/testfile', '/Volumes/Image2/testfile' ); Expected result: ---------------- The file /Volumes/Image1/testfile has been copied to /Volumes/Image2/testfile ad the original file has been removed. No error should be triggered Actual result: -------------- The file /Volumes/Image1/testfile has been copied to /Volumes/Image2/testfile ad the original file has been removed. Additionally the following error is triggered: rename(/Volumes/Image1/testfile,/Volumes/Image2/testfile): Operation not permitted in renametest.php on line n ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50676&edit=1
