Comment 1 for bug 1637554

Hi David,

Thanks for the bug report. So, 'cp -p' should only fail if the target filesystem is not a POSIX filesystem. Is that the case for you? I see /home/cro/home_root/mnt/hgfs/cro/Documents/TanagerProjects/Signage/flock_installer/ics-ubuntu-image.img as a destination, I'm not sure if 'hgfs' refers to a particular filesystem with non-POSIX semantics?

This is certainly a legitimate bug. We may be able to drop the '-p' with the reasoning that a file copy will create the new file with the same umask and owner as the original file creation, but we need to check this assumption.
