Just a moment ago something weird happened. I was cleaning up files
and noticed a very strange behaviour of the rm command. AFAIK Linux is
case-sensitive, so you van have three files TeST, test and TEST in one
directory. But I deleted more than I wanted to (no big deal, rm is the
issue)
So I tried this:
#!/bin/bash
touch TEST
touch TeST
touch test
ls # all three are there
rm te*
ls # ALL THREE ARE GONE???
IMO this is _very_ dangerous behaviour, one would expect Linux command
to be compatible with the Linux filesystem (maybe rm is a port of del
:-\)
Is this a known issue? Right know I have only Fedora at hand, but I
wonder if other distro's have it too.
heres what i got.,.. theres gotta be something wrong with your fedora..
i am using mandrake 9.2..
[jason@sesso2 test]$ rm te*
rm: remove regular file `test'? yes
[jason@sesso2 test]$ ls
Test TEst
[jason@sesso2 test]$ rm Te*
rm: remove regular file `Test'? y
[jason@sesso2 test]$ rm TE*
rm: remove regular file `TEst'? y
[jason@sesso2 test]$ ls
[jason@sesso2 test]$
Rcognizes case sens..
My FC1 recognized case (ext3) even with ls unalaised. So no problem here.
ciao!
