The latest version is here
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/fetish/fileutils-4.0q.tar.gz
mv/cp still don't (and probably won't ever) check
for available free space on the destination file system.
That sort of thing would be done by higher-level tools.

| =============
|
| I downloaded the source to
| fileutils-3.15
| fileutils-3.16v
| I do not know if this is the latest.
|
| I was looking at 'mv.c' and 'copy.c' source file to learn how to move file
| between devices (across media).
|
| I was not surprised to see all the check that is needed for
| the file types, 'ownership', 'user/group/ rights' , etc.
|
| Suggestion
| -----------
| If the file to be copied/move to a different device (across media) is too
| big to fit.
| It would be a good idea to check the free space on the destination first.
| This does not done in the versions I looked at.
