mv do not inherit their parent directory's default ACL
Last modified: 2008-10-29 06:08:43 UTC
I think there is a bug in the coreutils. New files created by "mv2 do not inherit their parent directory's default ACL entries (if any), but retain their original ACLs. The "cp" command works fine.
The mv command conceptually moves filesystem objects, and doesn't create new objects. Thus default acls are not inherited, just as the umask has no effect. This behavior is by design.
