Hmm... According to "info cp" (on my openSUSE 10.3 system), -a or --archive is
equivalent to -dpPR, which means:
-d copy symlinks as symlinks and preserve hardlinks between sources in the
copies
-p preserve attributes. If not specifying which attributes, the default is:
mode,ownership,timestamps (xattrs must be specified explicitly to be included)
-P copy symlinks as symlinks (sic)
-R copy directories recursively
Best regards,
Tony.
