We have our CVS repository on a F840 running 6.1R1. I've been chasing (what I thought was) a CVS Commit problem re renaming files but now I think this may be a filer issue because I've been able to reproduce the problem outside of CVS. We're using FreeBSD.
Basically I have group write permission to a directory where I want to rename a file. All attempts fail with a "Permission denied" error. Then I restored the directory from a tgz file and after that, everything started working fine! The owners, permissions, and modified dates were the same as before so I don't understand why restoring this directory would change anything.
Previously we had our CVS repository on a F520 running 5.3.6 and we never had any problems.
Please, can anyone explain this?
Thanks much, Frank
