Nothing to do with the 'mv' command, but the 'rename' syscall. "mv" simply renames a file. It doesn't change the file at all. This is correct behaviour. The sgid bit on a directory only affects the gid assigned to *new* files created inside that directory. That's why copy and create both set the gid. Moving an existing file is not expected to change the gid. |
