o Should be equivalent; pax is one of the handful of commands documented
as supporting Classic data sets (but not GDGs).
o pax -rw bypasses the archive file. Often I keep it for fallback.
o pax -w ... | ssh ... "pax -r ..." can copy a filesystem from one system to
another.

o Spot check attributes by "ls -lTHE" and compare with original.
o There is no combination of options that produces a neatly formatted listing
of an archive showing all extended attributes. I went to SR with tnis and
Support did little beyond agreeing with my observation. Perhaps I should
have tried escalated.

–M
Creates empty directories within the target directory tree for each active
mount point encountered within the source directory tree. pax identifies mount
points by checking if a subdirectory in the source tree is on the same device
as the parent current directory. This behavior is like the current pax -X
option (write out only those files and directories that are on the same device
as their parent directory) except instead of skipping the subdirectory entirely
a corresponding empty directory is created in the target directory tree. Any
contents in the subdirectory on the source directory tree are ignored.
Restriction: The –M option is only for pax copy mode.
