>Description:
the pax manual page doesn't mention that pax is unaware of chflags. in fact it describes the switch `-p e` as `Preserve everything'. the manual page should explicitly mention paxes unawareness of chflags and the description 'Preserve everything' shouldn't be used since pax only preserves user ID, group ID, file mode bits, file access time, and file modification time.
cheers.
