DESCRIPTION

VxFS-specific mv and cp are extensions of the generic mv and cp commands. The VxFS-specific commands support all the options of the generic commands, plus the -e option to preserve space reservation and fixed extent size information of the files.

After successful execution of the command, the target file has the same space reservation, fixed extent size, and extent allocation flags as the source file.


OPTIONS

The -e option requires one of the following arguments. If you omit the -e option, warn is the default cp behavior.
force
Fails the move or copy operation on a file if the fixed extent size or space reservation of the file cannot be preserved.
ignore
Ignores any errors in preserving extent attributes.
warn
Issues a warning if the space reservation or the fixed extent size of the file cannot be preserved.
