If you plan to keep a cpio, tar, and pax handle hard links correctly, but they don't set the schg flag (man 1 chflags). cp sets the schg flag but doesn't handle hard links. I was looking for something that does both. > You can even use the -l option so that it just creates hard links cpio's -l option doesn't link files whose schg flag is set.
