Hi,
On Sid (amd64), I am facing the following:
$ ./test.sh
-rwxr-x--- 1 patrice patrice 300 Jul 9 10:46 ./test.sh
option: -p
cp: preserving permissions for '/tmp/test.sh': Operation not supported
exitcode: 1
-rwxr-x--- 1 patrice patrice 300 Jul 9 10:46 /tmp/test.sh
option: --preserve=mode
cp: preserving permissions for '/tmp/test.sh': Operation not supported
exitcode: 1
-rwxr-x--- 1 patrice patrice 300 Jul 9 10:47 /tmp/test.sh
option: --preserve=timestamps
exitcode: 0
-rwxr-x--- 1 patrice patrice 300 Jul 9 10:46 /tmp/test.sh
option: --preserve=ownership
exitcode: 0
-rwxr-x--- 1 patrice patrice 300 Jul 9 10:47 /tmp/test.sh
It says that the operation is not supported but still the mode of the
copy is ok.
Is there an issue somewhere?
Thanks,
Patrice
