Hi!

After some investigation, I come to the conclusion that there is no
means to copy the extended attributes of a file by using standard
commands like cp (even with the -p option) or mv. At least it works with
mv if the rename(2) syscall is used (ie. moves within the same
filesystem), but as soon as it has to cross filesystems, extended attrs
get lost. Naturally I'm speaking of copying from a UFS2 fs to a UFS2 fs.

Am I missing something here or is it really a 'bug'? (or a feature, it
depends :) )

Cheers,
David.
