mv can't rename folder after unzip

[fdu123]

Inside a Linux folder created on /.
for example I tried:
root@localhost:/# mkdir /mx6
root@localhost:/# cd /mx6
root@localhost:/mx6# cp /mnt/c/buildroot_master.zip .
root@localhost:/mx6# unzip buildroot_master.zip
....
root@localhost:/mx6# mv buildroot-master buildroot2
mv: cannot move ‘buildroot-master’ to ‘buildroot2’: Permission denied

also if I try to execute a make of my buildroot
I failed with patch system that cannot rename some file.

@fdu123 Are you trying to build linux image for freescale i.mx6 family processor? ;P
I tried build linux Yocto for i.MX UltraLite today #16, but failed :-(

First, did you run bash from windows as administrator? If not, you have privilages to access only files in your windows user directory. Run cmd.exe as administrator and then run bash.

You already asked this at #41

I did try as administrator and I've got the same result.

@fdu123 try different path or move file from windows File Explorer to linux rootfs. It's accessible in both ways.
You can access linux subsystem from:
C:\Users\ YOUR_USER_NAME \AppData\Local\Lxss\rootfs

Please DO NOT manipulate the Linux filesystem from Windows - this may well cause issues and/or corruption.

It's fine to access your Windows filesystem from Linux, but the other way around is not a supported scenario at this time.

@bitcrazed Thanks for info!

It happens to me for things done in /root (root's home directory) completely inside the Linux environment.

I think it has nothing to do with unzip. It's just that you can't use mv to move or rename a directory which is not empty.

root@localhost:# mkdir a
root@localhost:# mv a b
root@localhost:# mkdir b/aa
root@localhost:# mv b c
mv: cannot move ‘b’ to ‘c’: Permission denied

@mxalbert1996 I have tried to rename the same folder after a reboot and it works!

Known issue. We have a fix in development. From my internal build:

russ@RUSSALEX-BOOK:$ mkdir a
russ@RUSSALEX-BOOK:$ mv a b
russ@RUSSALEX-BOOK:$ mkdir b/aa
russ@RUSSALEX-BOOK:$ mv b c
russ@RUSSALEX-BOOK:~$ ls c
aa

@russalex is this the same issue as:

root@localhost:/tmp# touch a
root@localhost:/tmp# mv a ~
mv: cannot move 'a' to a subdirectory of itself, '/root/a'

[russalex]

@SamSaffron Yep, confirmed that one is fixed is well internally.

Though it is the question how can we access updates? Particulary, w/o this one fix subsystem is completely useless - most apt/dpkg operations are highly dependent on config directories mving though it is very hard to get anything useful work.

Confirmed that this problem is fixed in Insider Preview 14328.
