add --preserve= support

Open daltonbohning opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Some tools (dcp, dsync) have the option --preserve to preserve ownership, permissions, acls, timestamps, and xattrs. Currently, this option is all or nothing. It would be useful to enhance this with finer controls: --preserve[=ATTR_LIST] This would allow specific subsets to be copied.

See also https://github.com/hpc/mpifileutils/pull/418 which is done more in the style of rsync.

@daltonbohning take a look at this commit which provides that kind of control through /etc/xattr.conf (libattr):
