What happens if you move a file into a folder that is currently being moved (mv command) between drives (it’s multiple gigabytes, so takes a while)? Seems there’s a good chance it’s going to get deleted (or is that only if you’re using SSHFS?).

Spoiler alert: file seems to be gone, though since it was previously in the trash, a reference to it remains…

@helianthropy you have to ask Heisenberg, the file will most probably exist and not at the same time

@helianthropy the more interesting question for me is, why would one do that? I mean, I know I wouldn't do that, so I'm curious why others would.
