Rather than hack rsync or cp ... I proposed a smallish utility that would copy those extended attributes and ACLs that cp -a just skips over. This can be done using the documented GPFS APIs that were designed for backup and restore of files. SMOP and then add it as an option to samples/ilm/mmxcp
Sorry I haven't gotten around to doing this ... Seems like a modest sized project... Avoids boiling the ocean and reinventing or hacking rsync. -- marc K
