Message-ID: <20011009062615.25BD719A0A@mail.cse.psu.edu> (raw)

One thing I like in Plan 9 is that by keeping the fs alive,
you can survive crashes on any other machine. The renamefs 
would make you more dependent on crashes not happening 
in the machine w/ renamefs before it moves everything around.

The other question I have: is all this worth just to avoid mv
doing a cp+rm? Beware that even if you could move, the
worm would burn a copy unless you also modify it.
