Dunno about moving from NTFS to FAT32, but I used ImDisk (a ram drive) to create a ntfs drive, then: require "fileutils" Dir.mkdir "C:/somedirectory" FileUtils.mv "C:/somedirectory", "V:/another" This fails because it relies on File.rename which uses FileMoveW and is not causing cross-device link error, but instead access denied, as "move" does in the Command Prompt Since we use FileMoveEx anyway if the target file exists, perhaps we can directly use FileMoveEx all the way and use MOVEFILE_COPY_ALLOWED combined with MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING if necessary. ---------------------------------------- Bug #8109: FileUtils.mv fails across devices on Windows https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8109#change-37734 Author: mitchellh (Mitchell Hashimoto) Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: cruby-windows Category: platform/windows Target version: ruby -v: 2.0.0-p0 Reproduction code: https://gist.github.com/luislavena/5179408 The issue is that Ruby is using MoveFile under the covers: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/de...

Issue #8109 has been updated by nagachika (Tomoyuki Chikanaga). Hello, usa san, it seems a long-standing bug, isn't it? Do you want to backport r40001 to 1.9.3 branch? I will take a leaf from your opinion for 2.0.0.
