5 vmhgfs: Bad file descriptor on move+overwrite - ID: 1994708
Last Update: Comment added ( dtor )

Unable to overwrite file via mv command.

cd /mnt/hgfs/shared
touch file1.txt
touch file2.txt
mv file2.txt file1.txt
mv: cannot move 'file2.txt' to 'file1.txt': Bad file descriptor

cp file2.txt file1.txt works, mv does not.

mv file2.txt file3.txt works assuming file3.txt does not exist.

This particular issue should be fixed with the Fusion 2 release and the fix
should also be in open-vm-tools. Closing.

Interesting. Could you please share the strace output of the "mv file2.txt
file1.txt" attempt?

Also, when you say this bug applies to stock VMware Tools, do you mean the
Tools that shipped with Fusion 2 beta 1?
