I have a /usr/X11R6 directory that I wanted to get out of the way. So I
renamed it like this:
cd /usr
mv X11R6 X11R6.XFree.4.1.0
It is taking multiple minutes. Looking at it in Windows Explorer, I see
both X11R6 and X11R6.XFree.4.1.0 in existance at the same time.
Is mv implemented as cp and del?!?!. Why not just rename the file, a'la
UNIX, or even Windows? Or am I really missing something?
