Description
When I to rename file or folder in fman by pressing Shift+F6 it copied file/folder to the new location and then removed it from the old location. If file/forder is large then such operation become very time-consuming. If I do the same operation in other file managers it come to an end instantly. Is it possible to improve fman in this case?

Research direction
Start by reproducing Shift+F6 with a large file or folder and trace the rename handling in fman. The change is done when renaming within the same filesystem completes without copying the data first, while preserving the existing behavior for moves that require copying.
