Entity Christopher Nebel spoke thus:
As long as you're moving files within the same filesystem, the mv
command WILL preserve the resource fork.
However, if you're moving across filesystems, mv winds up calling
cp behind the scenes, so the resource fork is lost.
Unless you're using Tiger, in which case cp does the right thing.
Well darnit, that means we can no longer use cp to strip resource
fork &
metadata.
True, but "cat < /dev/null > myfile/..namedfork/rsrc" will nuke a
resource fork in Panther or Tiger.
