Extended attributes disappear when system is installed to disk #88

Open probonopd opened 3 years ago

Extended attributes disappear when system is installed to disk.

Compare the output of

% sudo lsextattr user /.url
/.url   url     sha     build

to the output of the same command on an installed system.

is this at fault?

Why are we not using zfs send (like the initd does)?

According to https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/copying-freebsd-to-a-different-disk.55606/#post-315897,

cpdup does not take care of Extended Attributes and ACLs

...which is bad. We should replace it.

Maybe use tar --xattrs | untar as an alternative?

Or rsync, although it might(?) be slower.
