As far as I remember, cpio doesn't copy flags. But you can use either dump + restore, or dpdup (from ports). >From "man cpdup": The cpdup utility makes an exact mirror copy of the source in the destination, creating and deleting files and directories as necessary. UTimes, hardlinks, softlinks, devices, permissions, and flags are mirrored. Flags are explicitely mentioned here. Maybe you can give this program a try? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
