[MiNT] mv does delete when fail of fat (was: 1-18-cur trunk stability issues)

[Paul Wratt <paul.wratt@gmail.com>]

I suggest:
1) do some tests (with dummy files of coarse)
2) check drive with "undelete tool" as it may still be there
3) confirm on another machine/distro (Gentoo) (someone else maybe?)

If you can verify it deletes on fail on other partition type, that
would be bonus

That will at least isolate the issue (it may just be the mint fat driver)

Speaking of this my nvdi.prg binary is gone. Here is why

I went to rename it in a console session.  I simply did mv nvdi.prg nvdi.prgx

Notice the typo.  This was on my boot partition which is fat
explicitly without vfat support.  The error message it gave was
something like "error source and destination are the same file".
After the error message it was gone.

I'm guessing mv simply deleted it half way through operations?  Is
this expected behavior?

Thanks,
