SubjectRe: mv'ing directories across fs'?
In article <Pine.GSO.3.96.970710223238.5027B-100000@buffy> you wrote:

I once read that some operating systems do a mv when possible and
substitute a cp when necessary (e.g. when copying across filesystems). This
doesn't sound too hard to implement, or am I wrong?
