[Bug 276472] Re: cp -p on CIFS mount does not preserve permissions and returns a permission denied error

[Stefan]

This is a kernel bug and it is still not fixed in the latest Ubuntu 8.04
LTS.

/mnt/temp is a CIFS mount:

root at ubuntu8:~# cp -p /etc/services /mnt/temp/
root at ubuntu8:~# ls -la /etc/services /mnt/temp/services 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18274 2007-12-03 23:04 /etc/services
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18274 2011-04-13 16:00 /mnt/temp/services

root at ubuntu8:~# uname -a
Linux ubuntu8 2.6.24-29-server #1 SMP Wed Mar 16 20:29:36 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
