java rename and NFS directory

Thread view:

I see lots of messages in the past re java rename command failing when
accessing files on NFS mounted filesystems. Should this still be an
issue??...I think we are hitting it on AIX. A unix mv command works
fine.

Is there a workaround?

Renaming presumably fails when you attempt to move a file across
multiple file systems, which shouldn't be expected to work. The
workaround is to copy then delete the original. Unfortunately it's not
possible to preserve permissions or other attributes when you copy
files in Java.

You also can't do this atomically; if some failure occurs partway through,
you might wind up with both files existing.
