Hello, We have a strange issue using "cp" command with -p option on Redhat Linux 3 kernel 2.4.21-47.ELsmp. I get the following error message...
When you use without an option, no problems [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ touch a [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cp a b [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ls -ld b -rw-r--r-- 1 sekanaya cadd 0 Mar 16 2007 b When you use with -p option [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ touch c [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cp -p c d cp: preserving permissions for `d': Invalid argument eventhough I get this above error message, it copies the file. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ls -ld d -rw-r--r-- 1 sekanaya cadd 0 Mar 16 2007 d I do not get this error message Redhat 4.... Any idea ??? Thanks in advance.
