When copying directories from one to another with the -a option, only file attributes are copied, attributes of subdirectories are ignored.
Tested in Alpine Linux 3.20 with uutils 0.0.28.
Below is an example:
/ # ls -l /bin/cp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Nov 19 10:17 /bin/cp -> ../usr/bin/uutils / # cp --version cp 0.0.28 / # mkdir -p /app/folder1 / # echo test > /app/file1 / # echo test > /app/folder1/file1 / # chown -R nobody:nobody /app / # ls -l /app/ total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 5 Nov 19 10:20 file1 drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody nobody 19 Nov 19 10:20 folder1 / # ls -l /app/file1 -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 5 Nov 19 10:20 /app/file1 / # mkdir /app-copy / # cp -a /app/. /app-copy / # ls -l /app-copy/ total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 5 Nov 19 10:20 file1 drwx------ 2 root root 19 Nov 19 10:22 folder1 / # ls -l /app-copy/folder1/ total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 5 Nov 19 10:20 file1
