bug#8767: cp: --preserve=all doesn't work for the parents when --parent is used

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Hi.

When doing something like:
cp --no-dereference --preserve=all --parents --no-clobber "${pathname}"
"${destination}"

Then the file (if it's not a directory) will be copied to
${destination}/${pathname} including all the directories within ${pathname}
(e.g. ./foo/bar/file).
While the owner (user/group) and file permission bits of foo and bar seem
to be preserved, the XATTRs are not (maybe the other preserve-classes are
also not preserved).


Doubt that this is desired, so I guess it's a bug.


Cheers,
Chris.
