Hi,
This blog
http://blog.plasticsfuture.org/2006/03/05/the-state-of-backup-and-cloning-tools-under-mac-os-x/
has an explanation of all the kinds of file metadata that exists on MacOS X:
resource forks, creation date, ACLs, extended attributes.
Some of these (ACLs, extended attributes) also exist on Linux.
Should "cp -p --preserve=all" copy these metadata?
Should --preserve have a possible value indicating extended attributes?
Bruno
- cp -p and metadata,
