The eval command is used to execute the arguments as a shell command on unix or linux system.

Eval command comes in handy when you have a unix or linux command stored in a variable and you want to execute that command stored in the string. The eval command first evaluates the argument and then runs the command stored in the argument.

Example:

eval `ssh-agent`
eval $(ssh-agent)

An agent is a program that keeps your keys in memory so that you only need to unlock them once, instead of every time. ssh-agent does this for SSH keys. eval `ssh-agent` – this runs the agent in background, and sets the apropriate environment variables for the current shell instance.

How to fix: mv: failed to preserve ownership

mv  is the wrong tool for this job; you want  cp  and then  rm . Since you're moving the file to another filesystem this is exactly what  mv  is doing behind the scenes anyway, except that  mv  is also trying to preserve file permission bits and owner/group information. This is because  mv  would preserve that information if it were moving a file within the same filesystem and  mv  tries to behave the same way in both situations. Since you don't care about the preservation of file permission bits and owner/group information, don't use that tool. Use  cp --no-preserve=mode  and  rm  instead. But if you don't care about the warning, mv actually does move the files before complaining  ownership problem.
