With my cloud space provider, I have observed that copying to a davfs2 mounted cloud space does only work if using tar, e.g.
tar -cf - sourcefile |tar -xf - -C clouddir Doing the same (copying) with cp or mv results in the error messages: cp: error writing ‘/home/kj/MyDrive/sourcefile’: Input/output error cp: failed to extend ‘/home/kj/MyDrive/sourcefile’: Input/output error I suppose cp and mv use a file creation method not appropriate for this kind of device. Either coreutils should detect the device and use a method better suited, or coreutils should restrain to be plain and simple and make use of a simple method working everywhere. (IMHO)
