Something maybe not covered so far is what mv etc do with sparce files,
if memory serves me right some operations are 'safe' and some have a habit
of filling the empty extent with data, having unforseen consequences for
the real size of used disk.

Of course, if 9 doesn't have them, it doesn't have the problem either.
