--- Comment #14 from [email protected] --- (In reply to Kirk McKusick from comment #13) Restore is used in the context of a full, and then incremental restores. So it makes sense to only restore the attributes of the file being restored and yes the -u option should be used. I think the most elegant approach is to draw the attention of users to the -u option with an additional sentence along the lines of: "This flag is recommended when using extended attributes, to avoid improperly accumulating attributes upon (pre)existing files." Changing the behaviour of restore in the default case, probably isn't warranted. Someone may a script that "requires" restore to complain for some reason!? Thank-you for your consideration. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-amd64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
