mv directories


Just a quick note.  
if you are running linux, and have a vmware session open of XP with a
cygwin console.  And XP has a share mounted from the linux host via
samba as say..  H:  so, in cygwin it would be /cygdive/h.  And you have
a shortcut to that dive.... it's a bad idea to move a folder of backup
files to that destination (ie "mv backup ../linuxshare/").  There will
be no error message, and your data is gone...
