I am running Debian stable with xfce desktop. P.S. I have been running Debian since Potato. I am not familiar with ACL or SELinux. rlh@heidi:/$ ls -d -l / /backup drwxr-xr-x 30 root root 4096 Jan 17 04:18 / drwxr-xr-x 8 rh rh 4096 Sep 8 2015 /backup Again, could the problem possibly be that mv requires in the partition sufficient free space to hold a copy of backup?
