DO NOT REPLY [Bug 46718] New: Move task resets file owner when
targeting different volume
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46718
Summary: Move task resets file owner when targeting different
volume
Product: Ant
Version: 1.7.1
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Core tasks
AssignedTo: notifications@ant.apache.org
ReportedBy: ed@belisle.com
Moving a file to a differet volume resets owner.group to current user.
Example:
1) Run as root
2) Current directory is on a different volume then /tmp.
3) Ant task (movefail.xml attached, bash pseudo code shown):
a) touch /tmp/movefile_from
b) chown ed /tmp/movefile_from
c) mv /tmp/movefile_from ./movefile_to
4) owner of movefile_to is now root.
Notes:
1) Move task attempts to rename file, but ends up copying file instead.
2) OS (rhel5) is able to move file to new volume and preserve owner

This is true, and unfortunately it is something we cannot fix without leaving
the world of Java - because Java's file system API is too poor to even provide
us with the current owner information, much less allow us to set it.
In a scenario like your's, using <exec> and the native mv command really is the
only option, I'm afraid.
CANTFIX rather than WONTFIX
