>Description:

from manpage:

     As the rename(2) call does not work across file systems, mv uses cp(1)
     and rm(1) to accomplish the move.  The effect is equivalent to:

           rm -f destination_path && \
           cp -pr source_file destination && \
              ^^^
           rm -rf source_file


Fix:
           rm -f destination_path && \
           cp -PRp source_file destination && \
           rm -rf source_file
