Walsh" MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: suse cp copies 'acls' and extended attrs.... List-Id: XFS Filesystem from SGI List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; Format="flowed" Sender: xfs-bounces@oss.sgi.com Errors-To: xfs-bounces@oss.sgi.com To: xfs-oss I'm not sure if it is in mainline cp (would tend to guess it is likely), but the default cp -a mode will copy all file attributes now, as well, by default. (You can turn it off, but the default for -a(rchive) mode is to copy everything...)... So you can use 'cp' now to copy xfs files around and not lose capabilities, acls or other ext_attrs, as well as rsync.... Just an FYI from someone who just found out recently -- it may be old news...if so, sorry, first I heard of it! _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
