Moving files between btrfs subvolumes doesn't work because they're different volumes. However, it's possible to reflink the files to their new location, then remove the original. Rather than forcing the user to do the cp+rm dance that -- in the distant past -- was required to move files between different hard disks, please add an option to /bin/mv to use (or try using) reflinks for moving files. Using reflinks automatigally when a "normal" rename(2) fails may be a sensible default, but should be turnoffable. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (700, 'stable'), (650, 'testing'), (600, 'oldstable'), (500, 'unstable'), (450, 'focal'), (350, 'oldoldstable'), (300, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, arm64 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-9-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_USER Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.53-10 ii libattr1 1:2.4.48-6 ii libc6 2.33-2 ii libgmp10 2:6.2.1+dfsg-1+deb11u1 ii libselinux1 3.1-3 coreutils recommends no packages. coreutils suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed
