[Bug 599162] Re: Binding a directory with mount onto another forces mv to copy/delete under every circumstances

[Freebirth One]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: util-linux
  
  Following circumstances:
  
  I am binding a directory with "mount -o bind directory newdirectory",
- which both reside on the same partiton.
+ which both reside on the same partiton with ext3 as fs.
  
  When I want to move a file from a directory which is on the same
  partition like both of the above into newdirectory, it does a full
  copy/delete.
  
  I expected only the inode-Entry (?) to change instead of moving the
  whole data for moving the file, because the old location as well as the
  new location of it are both on the same partition.
  
  I suppose the bind option of mount is messing with this but am not
  really sure.
  
  Is this a bug or does it lie it within the design of ext3 and mount?
