    The same thing happened in my environment, box drive 2.24.208 on macOS BigSur 11.6.2.

    In my environment, I got the same error "Resource deadlock avoided" with the "cd" and "mv" commands.

    I tried a couple of different methods.
    I found that I could avoid about 90% of the errors by running the command "cp -f".
    Since the mutex error is probably occurring in Box's synchronization system, I don't think the client side can handle it any better.
