copying files does not preserve acls
Last modified: 2013-10-26 20:36:06 UTC
When I copy a file (control-C/control-V) with ACL in nautilus, new file no longer have acl. An example, I copied the example.txt file with nautilus in copy_nautilus.txt : $ getfacl example.txt # file: example.txt # owner: bonnegent # group: insa-personnel user::rw- user:malandain:r-- group::r-- mask::r-- other::r-- $ getfacl copy_nautilus.txt # file: copy_nautilus.txt # owner: bonnegent # group: insa-personnel user::rw- group::r-- other::r-- $ cp -a example.txt copy_cp.txt $ getfacl copy_cp.txt # file: copy_cp.txt # owner: bonnegent # group: insa-personnel user::rw- user:malandain:r-- group::r-- mask::r-- other::r-- This bug is tested on Ubuntu 13.04 64bits.
