Also, see how many open files you have: echo /proc/self/fd/* It'd be quite weird though to have a very low fd limit or a very large number of file descriptors open in the shell. That said, as Casper says, utilities like mv(1) should be able to cope with reasonably small fd limits (i.e., not as small as 3, but perhaps as small as 10).
