What is your idea of "accordingly" ? If you only ask it to move, it would not change user/group, but since you are not allowed to make files owned by someone else than you there, it gets your id, and complains it can't make it www:www. Since you are probably moving across filesystems, the mv becomes a "cp + rm", and the cp part is redoing the file from scratch there. -- May the most significant bit of your life be positive.
