Comment(by bdubbs@…):
mv does copy the file to a separate partition.
{{{
# echo test >a1
# ln a1 b1
# ls -li ?1
291550 -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 5 Dec 14 11:57 a1
291550 -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 5 Dec 14 11:57 b1
# df

/dev/sda2 9614148 1428428 7697344 16% /opt
# mv b1 /opt
# ls -li ?1 /opt/?1

}}}
In the case of a mv to a separate partition, the system does a cp and an
rm and the hard link is severed.
