Hi, I noticed something odd with the order of files in a directory. When I put files in a directory in a certain order on an ext3-filesystem, the order is not kept. On fat-filesystem it does. E.g.: rm -rf t ; mkdir t touch a.a a.b a.c mv a.b t/ ; mv a.c t/ ; mv a.a t/ ls -Ula t/ I then would expect: a.b a.c a.a but instead I get drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-01-16 12:59 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2009-01-16 12:59 a.c -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2009-01-16 12:59 a.b -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2009-01-16 12:59 a.a drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-01-16 12:59 . I tried adding sync between each mv but that didn't help.
