https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D240146 --- Comment #3 from Conrad Meyer <cem@freebsd.org> --- My impression is that extattr/fork use is much less common in BSD/Linux than Windows. It seems like Mac gained support in 10.4 in ~2005. It's quite possible that folks who ran into this shortcoming just installed coreutils and used gcp. Btw, I don't think the cp(1) -p behavior is wrong here. I was suggesting adding extattr support to '-a', like GNU cp does. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
