Think about the local case. There it just does a rename. I don't think they would deliberately allow custom ACL's to be tossed just because the copy was to a different device. But, once you had the files in place, wouldn't an rsync from old to new, fix up just the ACL's? If rsync won't work, then use "cp": > cp -rd --attributes-only /old /new Is there a reason why that wouldn't (or shouldn't) work? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
