When a call to rename(2) returns -1 and in errno the value es EXDEV, it
means the system file doesn't support the rename feature, so the
application is supposed to be able to solve this creating a file in the new
filesystem and deleting the old file. This is something that I read
recently about aufs filesystem (Docker uses aufs by default)

Kind regards,
Oscar
