Does the cp actually complete? As in, does it copy all of the blocks?  What’s 
the exit code?

A cp’d file should have  “new” metadata. That is, it should have it’s own 
dates, owners, etc. (not necessarily copied from the source file).

I ran ‘strace cp foo1 foo2’, and it was pretty instructive, maybe that would 
get you more info. On CentOS strace is in it’s own package, YMMV.
