Issue 3253: shutil.move bahave unexpected in fat32 (original) (raw)

Build the environment in a fat32 file system: $echo test > test_move $mkdir testmove

If I shutil.move('test_move', 'testmove'), it will raise: Traceback (most recent call last): File "testmove.py", line 5, in shutil.move('test_move', 'test_python') File "/usr/lib/python2.5/shutil.py", line 199, in move copy2(src,dst) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/shutil.py", line 92, in copy2 copystat(src, dst) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/shutil.py", line 69, in copystat os.chmod(dst, mode) OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: 'test_python/test_move'

If I shutil.move('test_move', 'testmove/testmove'), it will succeed quietly. This problem doesn't happen in an ext3 file system.
