Comment (by dd32):

 Replying to [comment:56 dd32]:
 > I guess that's kind of how it works now, except the temporary install
 directory is wp-content/upgrade/somethinghere. It's the copy from there to
 the plugins directory that sometimes fails

 I think this might have originally been a copy, rather than a move, as
 moving items cross-partition isn't possible. Sometimes each site would
 have it's own `wp-content` directory, but the `wp-content/plugins` or
 themes folder was actually a symlink to another disk or some such.

 I could also be mis-remembering it, and it was purely bad planning and
 development skills that I wrote it like this :) If I was doing it again,
 I'd do it how I've outlined in [comment:53 comment 53 above]
