This directory is slow (because it's a FUSE-mounted directory), so I decided to symlink /SPECIALREMOTEDIRECTORY/tmp/ to another drive (as tmp/ is just used during the copy operations). However it doesn't work as expected as git-annex seems unable to copy anything from /SPECIALREMOTEDIRECTORY/tmp/ to /SPECIALREMOTEDIRECTORY/. + + git annex copy --to special_dir myfile + copy mlyfile (to special_dir...) + 100% 288 MiB 26 MiB/s 0s + /SPECIALREMOTEDIRECTORY/annex/k/tmp/GPGHMACSHA1--800acc67c0803274ed67cea51a1f0df75c225621/: renamePath:rename: unsupported operation (Cross-device link) + git-annex: copy: 1 failed + + ls -l /SPECIALREMOTEDIRECTORY/annex/k/ + drwx------ 1 TroisSinges wheel 167 22 nov 17:49 fe5 + drwx------ 1 TroisSinges wheel 167 22 nov 17:53 ff5 + lrwx------ 1 TroisSinges wheel 18 23 nov 08:04 tmp -> /Users/TroisSinges/tmp + + +### What version of git-annex are you using?
