Synopsis: rm(1): rm behaves unexpectedly when using -r and relative paths State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback State-Changed-By: gavin State-Changed-When: Fri Jun 27 13:51:44 UTC 2008 State-Changed-Why: On Solaris 8: --------------- gavin@sol8:/var/tmp/tmp 7% ls -l total 4 drwx--x--x 2 gavin gavin 512 Jun 27 14:42 test lrwxrwxrwx 1 gavin gavin 4 Jun 27 14:43 test2 -> test gavin@sol8:/var/tmp/tmp 8% cd .. gavin@sol8:/var/tmp 9% rm -r tmp/test2/ gavin@sol8:/var/tmp 10% ls -l tmp total 2 drwx--x--x 2 gavin gavin 512 Jun 27 14:42 test --------------- On Solaris 10: --------------- gavin@sol10:/var/tmp/tmp 7% ls -l total 4 drwx--x--x 2 gavin gavin 512 Jun 27 14:44 test lrwxrwxrwx 1 gavin gavin 4 Jun 27 14:44 test2 -> test gavin@sol10:/var/tmp/tmp 8% cd .. gavin@sol10:/var/tmp 9% rm -r tmp/test2/ gavin@sol10:/var/tmp 10% ls -l tmp total 2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 gavin gavin 4 Jun 27 14:44 test2 -> test --------------- So, it looks like Solaris now behaves in the same way FreeBSD does in this case, which (along with bde@'s analysis) suggests to me that the current behaviour is correct. Submitter: do you still believe this to be incorrect, or can I close the PR? http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=116477home | help
