+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #123069 +++ Description of problem: dos2unix filas when cuurent directory is on a different file system than the output file. If output and input file is the same file, the input file is furthermore deleted. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. cd /home/user 2. touch /tmp/foo 3. dos2unix /tmp/foo Actual Results: If /home/usr and /tmp are on different file systems, /tmp/foo is permanently deleted. Expected Results: it to work Additional info: (from another user) The cause is trivial, input file is `unlink'ed, output generated as a temporary file in the current directory and the tried `rename'd to the output location. `rename' obviously fails, as it cannot move between file systems. -- Additional comment from bugzilla on 2004-05-12 13:08 EST -- Created an attachment (id=100195) patch to fix problem -- Additional comment from mharris on 2004-10-06 16:14 EST -- *** Bug 134361 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** -- Additional comment from mitr on 2004-10-20 11:31 EST -- Fixed in dos2unix-3.1-21.
