I was dinking with my .mime.types and decided to restore the original file back into place. I received some real odd behavior, and was curious if this was "normal", or if things were screwey.

I'll just cut'n'paste what came out of the xterm, it will explain itself.

(Solaris/sparc v2.6 and OnTapp v4.3.5 on a F520, if you must know..)

: wst103:~; cp .snapshot/hourly.0/.mime.types . cp: .snapshot/hourly.0/.mime.types and ./.mime.types are identical : wst103:~; /usr/bin/cp .snapshot/hourly.0/.mime.types . cp: .snapshot/hourly.0/.mime.types and ./.mime.types are identical : wst103:~; ll -i .snapshot/hourly.0/.mime.types ./.mime.types 591121 -rw-r--r-- 1 windsor staff 328 Nov 12 17:05 ./.mime.types 591121 -rw-r--r-- 1 windsor staff 589 Aug 4 17:22 .snapshot/hourly.0/.mime.types : wst103:~; cp /nac/.snapshot/hourly.0/userdata/windsor/.mime.types . : wst103:~;

/nac and ~ are two different mountpoints (two different filesystems as far as cp(1) knows), as you may have already figured out.

I haven't had any users query me about this yet, fortunately. Am I to remove the file completely before copying back in from the snapshot?
