Hi all,


Prior to a buildworld (adding sasl support to sendmail by installing
cyrus-sasl2 and  modifying /etc/make.conf on 4.6.2-RELEASE) when removing
the old /usr/obj/usr this happened:

root@wimp:obj# chflags -R noschg * && \rm -r usr/
rm: usr/src/fsck_msdosfs: Directory not empty
rm: usr/src: Directory not empty
rm: usr/: Directory not empty

root@wimp:obj# ls -ilaFo usr/src/fsck_msdosfs/
total 4
155993 drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  - 512 Sep 11 17:14 ./
133634 drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  - 512 Sep 11 17:14 ../
root@wimp:obj# ls -ilaFo usr/src/
total 6
133634 drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  - 512 Sep 11 17:14 ./
133633 drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  - 512 Sep  1 13:58 ../
155993 drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  - 512 Sep 11 17:14 fsck_msdosfs/

It will move within the fs, but not across:

root@wimp:src# mv fsck_msdosfs/ /usr
root@wimp:src# ll
total 4
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  - 512 Sep 11 17:45 ./
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  - 512 Sep  1 13:58 ../

root@wimp:src# mv /usr/fsck_msdosfs/ /tmp
mv: /usr/fsck_msdosfs/: Directory not empty
mv: /bin/rm: terminated with 1 (non-zero) status: Cross-device link
root@wimp:src#

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Riley
