mv /opt/kde3/share/services/basket_config_features.desktop ~/unbenutzt/ mv: Entfernen von „/opt/kde3/share/services/basket_config_features.desktop“ nicht möglich: Keine Berechtigung (E.: removing 'opt/kde3/share/services/basket_config_features.desktop' not possible: insufficient privileges) package/version: coreutils-5.93-20 In this case the privileges suffice for creating a new directory entry for the destination file but not for removing the source file. Awkwardly the result will depend on whether the target location resides on the same mount point or not: * same mount point: nothing is done * different mount point: file is copied but not deleted Generally we expect mv to be atomic by default. If the --backup switch is stated we may want it to behave like a copy and delete in sequence (copied though not deleted). Notwithstanding the result should always be the same no matter whether source and destination reside on different mount points! Elmar Stellnberger
