and it is not on the manpage, but tar copies acls and has them on the manpage. It guess it is an oversite that cp copies over 'xattrs' but not acls?
First, Can you verify the 'cp' binary you are using was compiled with ACL support? Something like: $ ldd $(which cp) | grep acl libacl.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libacl.so.1 (0x00007f0b68066000) Second, Are you using a local file-system or a remote one? There is a previous bug about ACLs on NFS4: https://bugs.gnu.org/20884 . Third, Do you have a reproducible case? e.g. on my local system: $ touch a $ setfacl -m "u:nobody:w" a $ cp -a a b $ getfacl b # file: b # owner: gordon # group: gordon user::rw- user:nobody:-w- group::r-- mask::rw- other::r-- If you have a reproducible case, please also run it with "strace" to help us troubleshoot the issue more clearly, e.g. strace -o cp-acl.log cp -a a b And attach the 'cp-acl.log' file. regards, - assaf
