Do not try and move the files; that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth... Delete them after you copy.

Right? If you move between file system or device I would expect "move" to be impossible. At best you could copy a logical block and then delete a logical block. If you share a filesystem then perhaps a logical block is a few hundred kilobytes. If you don't then I'd expect the smallest logical block to be the file itself.

Moving on the same filesystem moves the pointer to the file.
