That may be fine for desktops, but where we were really devoid of
options is on servers. The latest release (Ibex) in server edition now
supports copying extended attributes with --preserve=all or the archive
flag (-a). However it still failed when copying between two xattr-
enabled partitions. I don't remember what finally worked. I did play
with "star" a lot, which successfully made a backup of my data and
restored it to another partition on the old install, but couldn't do the
same on the new, using the same commands as before:
Backup: star -c -dump path/to/backup > backup.star
(Add -z to gzip output, -bz to bzip it.)
Restore: star xvf backup.star target/restore/path -dump
(Cannot directly restore compressed version.)
Whatever finally worked, I had to spend an afternoon faffing about to
accomplish it.
Then I found out Ibex's calendarserver package is broken. /facepalm
