It's fairly annoying that cp has no way to suppress the chflags error =
when the destination file is on an NFS mount. A bigger problem than the =
error message is that it returns exit status 1, which causes things like =
make to fail when there really was no error.
What do you think about the following change to /usr/src/bin/cp/utils.c:
398c398
< if (fdval ?
---
> if ((fdval ?
401c401
< chflags(to.p_path, fs->st_flags))) {
---
> chflags(to.p_path, fs->st_flags))) && errno !=3D =
ENOTSUP) {
which simply ignores the error if the destination filesystem doesn't =
support chflags?
Thanks,
lew
