[Question] mv function takes so long. - IriDium - 21st May, 2014 03:32 AM

Does anyone know why it should take so long to move a file.
I'm moving from /xbmc-backup to /home/xbian
Both file systems are on the same SD card.
It takes about 5 minutes to complete, whereas on any other OS it's instant.

Because you are effectively moving between partitions (BTRFS subvolumes).

Of course - thanks for that.
