To have cp preserve permissions, use the -p flag.
I use tar instead of cp, for situation like this. Tar, unlike cp, is
smart enough to handle symbolic links, permissions, ownerships, and
sparse files. Use this age-old Unix Jedi trick:
mkdir /home/vz/private/2
cd /home/vz/private/1
tar cf - * | ( cd ../2 ; tar xvf - )
That doesn't need a -p option? ie
'tar xpvf'
I tend to use 'tar --numeric-owner -cf' as well, just in case.
