I get uneasy whenever I see mv(1) used to move directory trees between filesystems, that is, whenever mv(1) can't do a simple rename(2), but has to do a recursive copy of files. it is essentially not restartable, if mv(1) is interrupted, you must clean up the mess with rsync or similar tools. so why not use rsync from the get go?
