currently mv fails to detect an identical filesystem
of source and destination file across bind mounts
instead of using the rename syscall
mv copies the file (to the same filesystem)
and then deletes the source file
obviously, this is not ideal:
- slow
- waste of disk space
- change of inode number
- unnecessary disk write operations (destructive)

this is possible using /proc/self/mountinfo
