external usb hard drive: files copying instead of moving
ETA: thanks for the replies. I checked "ignore ownership on this volume" via the info panel for the drive in question, and now files move as expected (rather than copying).
I'm on a Macbook Pro, OS 26.41. I have an 8tb external usb connected. When I move files on that drive, to another folder (def not an alias), on the same drive, I get asked to enter admin pw, and then the file copies instead of moves.
I've tried it numerous times, always copies instead of moves. Any ideas?
Drive seems to be healthy, and I've run Disk First Aid on it.
