That's not true. mv is happy to move cross-filesystem. Not on all OS to be sure but it does on Suse.

I didn't say it would not move "cross-filesystems". I said it wouldn't move across raw networks (It requires a mounted filesystem). You can't mv to/from an ftp site (for exmple). And the speed trick (link-unlink) only works within a single partition. (Which is a great time saver, and the only situation where mv is faster, and should have been done by Kong. Had Kong simply handed off a drag and drop from mounted file systems to mv it would have been much faster. But apparently doing that simple test (is source and desitination it on a mounted filesystem) was something the kong developers simply did not do. -- ----------JSA--------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
