Huge bug in mv 4.1.11 (i386)

Hello, I've lost data with this bug: When moving a complete tree from one volume to another, if the process can't continue(eg because the volume is full), the files that mv started to move are left as they are, meaning that lots of them are incomplete! There is a big risk that the user trust the files without seeing that they are incomplete. Same problem for folders, often they are created, but without all their files and subdirectories. Thus, a solution MUST be found. Why not checking the space left before starting to move something?
