- Can anyone tell me under what circumstances the following error
- message is generated?
-
- mv: /xxx/yyy/zzz: Cannot unlink: No such file or directory
-
- The command we are executing is 'mv zzz /xxx/yyy/zzz', and it
- fails with the above error message. We are running HPUX 8.07 on
- 720's and 750's.
-
- The target is in an AFS volume, and we suspect that the error message
- is caused by AFS. However, it is very difficult for us to track this
- problem down unless we know why 'mv' can't unlink the target. I've
- run strings on the 'mv' binary, and the error message is there.
- I don't see that error message in other vendor's version of 'mv', so
- I'd like to know what HP did.
-
- If you have any idea why the 'mv' command would care about the
- unlink failing in this manner, please send me mail.
