Package: busybox Version: 1:0.60.2-1 Severity: normal busybox cp -a breaks hard links. It used to preserve them! It also had one module that could perform the job of both "cp" and "mv". What happened to "cp_mv.c"? It was codewise smaller than the current version, and preserved hard links. I realize that "(tar cf - .) | (cd dest && tar xf -)" will preserve hard links, and that ancient Unix "cp" did not necessarily do so... But both GNU and BSD "cp" do preserve hard links, so I would expect busybox "cp" to also do so. -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux juniper 2.4.14-xfs-juniper #1 SMP Thu Dec 6 15:16:23 PST 2001 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages busybox depends on: ii libc6 2.2.4-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an
