Thanks, I installed the attached to implement this fix, the first patch 
into Gnulib, the second into coreutils.

Hello,

It appears that in coreutils 9.0 and greater, the mv command is broken on non-APFS filesystems on macOS. For example, on Apple tmpfs, it fails whenever moving a file with ENOTSUPP. It works fine on APFS filesystems (which is the primary macOS filesystem), however, so I assume it slipped under the radar till now. Could this possibly be related to the previous cp problem (#51857)?

Thanks,
Sudhip
