ls -d '/storage/emulated/0/Download/podcast/CKP - Connor Kenway'* | hexdump -C

if the output of that command has something like |r Kenway...s.| in it, this isn't a termux issue. the file just has a slightly different apostrophe character, ’ instead of '. that trips a lot of people up

[landfillbaby]

i should have asked before, what's the actual output of the mv command you say isn't working?

[HusniMuhammad]

Oh I forget to mention that ,

Here's the output of original issue

[landfillbaby]

EFAULT? weird...

[sylirre]

Can't reproduce:

[truboxl]

Can you try use /system/bin/mv instead of mv?

[sylirre]

With /system/bin/mv works too.

My devices are AArch64, so I guess issue may be still reproduced on ARM.

[truboxl]

Oops I meant to direct the question to the issue reporter.

I also can't reproduce on arm either.

[HusniMuhammad]

Can you try use /system/bin/mv instead of mv?

No, but file managers also throw this error

[sylirre]

Can be related to file system corruption.

Try to create a different file with similar name and move/copy it. Also try rebooting device and move original file after.

[HusniMuhammad]

Step-1

mkdir /storage/emulated/0/folder\'s

Step-2

mv /storage/emulated/0/folder\'s /storage/emulated/0/folder1\'s

Note: Copying, deletion are working fine, but moving & renaming not working

[sylirre]

You may try /system/bin/mv, but I think it will fail too. As file manager in one of comments above shown similar failure, it is most likely a bug of Android OS.

That's not a first issue related to file system layer on /storage/emulated/0.

How to do that

[sylirre]

/system/bin/mv /storage/emulated/0/folder\'s /storage/emulated/0/folder1\'s

[HusniMuhammad]

Same error

[HusniMuhammad]

But in Samsung M12 worked

Android version: 13 Kernel build information: Linux localhost 4.19.111-27127798 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue M ay 14 18:19:35 KST 2024 aarch64 Android Device manufacturer: samsung Device model: SM-M127F

[sylirre]

It also works on all my devices.

Problem is specific to realme RMX3231 or Android version (11). This is why issue considered as system bug.

[truboxl]

Can you post the output of mount and stat -f -c%T /storage/emulated/0? I doubt we can fix anything but for documentation purpose.

[HusniMuhammad]

fuseblk

stat -f -c%T /storage/emulated/0
