ln -sfn is not atomic #26

Open dimo414 opened 3 years ago

dimo414 commented 3 years ago

According to this post ln -sfn isn't actually atomic, despite the comment here. Need to confirm this is actually broken and then fix, presumably to the rename approach described in the post.

bkt uses the rename pattern, for reference.

devkev commented 1 year ago

A recent comment on the same answer claims that the ln in modern coreutils does the atomic rename approach now.
