coreutils: cp fails on SMBFS mount due to error on EOPNOTSUPP

[Arthur Marsh]

Package: coreutils
Version: 7.4-2
Severity: normal


This report was originally reported as Debian Bug#532153 against
smbfs, and the maintainer suggested that a bug be filed against 
coreutils. The Debian bug report number against coreutils is #532413.

When trying to do a cp -af from a local file to an
SMBFS-mounted share where the server filesystem has been
mounted with acl support, I get the following error on strace:

strace cp -af /usr/share/kernel-package/po ./debian/po

[excerpt follows]

lchown("./debian/po/po", 0, 0)          = 0

0x7fff766ffbd0, 132) = -1 EOPNOTSUPP (Operation not supported)

exit_group(1)                           = ?

The cp command fails even though the file was copied to the destination,
and the script that called the cp command also failed.
