Hello

I plan to move a dir which has about 0.4 million files to a new location.
This new location is a network storage.

I will run the command:

nohup mv dir /mnt/disk/newdir

I guess this will take a lot of hours to finish.

My question is, if the process gets an unexpected interruption, what will
happen and how can I recover it?

Thanks.
