The /something partition is big, and you have a big DVD image there, 4 GB in size. Now you delete it. How can you move it to your /.Trash on /home/$me, which has only 1 GB free?<br> <br> Going further: now the /something dir is a remote dir, mounted over via a IPSEC VPN. Bandwitdh is limited. Now I delete the same 4 GB file.
