https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D216127 --- Comment #14 from dewayne@heuristicsystems.com.au --- (In reply to Kirk McKusick from comment #13) Restore is used in the context of a full, and then incremental restores. So= it makes sense to only restore the attributes of the file being restored and y= es the -u option should be used. I think the most elegant approach is to draw= the attention of users to the -u option with an additional sentence along the l= ines of: "This flag is recommended when using extended attributes, to avoid improper= ly accumulating attributes upon (pre)existing files." Changing the behaviour of restore in the default case, probably isn't warranted. Someone may a script that "requires" restore to complain for so= me reason!? Thank-you for your consideration. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
