Hi, This blog http://blog.plasticsfuture.org/2006/03/05/the-state-of-backup-and-cloning-tools-under-mac-os-x/ has an explanation of all the kinds of file metadata that exists on MacOS X: resource forks, creation date, ACLs, extended attributes.
Some of these (ACLs, extended attributes) also exist on Linux. Should "cp -p --preserve=all" copy these metadata? Should --preserve have a possible value indicating extended attributes?
