Subject:   Problems upgrading a machine with limited disk space

Folks,
I'm upgrading a machine using CVsup, and I have limited disk space. There is not enough room for
/usr/src and /usr/obj on the same hard drive (I'm at 94% with only the new source loaded). So, I
am trying to move (ie mv) all of /usr/src over to another drive which has more space, hopefully
giving myself enough room to 'make buildworld'. I am moving /usr/src under the impression that I
cannot get 'make' to put my new binaries anywhere else other than /usr/obj after a 'make
buildworld'. I get an odd error when trying to move the whole src folder, the error is pasted
below:

mv: /space/Everything/hell/src/usr.bin/window/:tty: Invalid argument
mv: /space/Everything/hell/src/usr.bin/window/:var: Invalid argument
mv: /space/Everything/hell/src/usr.bin/window/:ww: Invalid argument
mv: /space/Everything/hell/src/usr.bin/window/:tt: Invalid argument
mv: /space/Everything/hell/src/lib/libc/mips/:errfix: Invalid argument
mv: /bin/cp: terminated with 1 (non-zero) status: Cross-device link

Naturally this makles me nervous to run make using this source. Ant suggestions? I used the mv
command with no special flags.

Thanks.

Jason
