I was attempting to move files from one directory to another and was displayed the following message although the files were moved. Why does display the "error" and what does it mean? When does it occur? The directories are on the same device and partition. The device runs off Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Error
*mv: cannot move `.' to `../new_media/press/.': Device or resource busy*
Thanks. Is there a way to tell whether the said "directory" is in use by some other process? – PeanutsMonkey – 2012-12-28T07:48:18.023
2If you're trying to move
.
then it's your current working directory and you should move out of it. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams – 2012-12-28T10:43:24.677
