You probably need the -p e switch:
e
Preserves the user ID, group ID, file mode, access time,
modification time, extended attributes, and ACL entries.
Prior
to z/OS 1.8, audit flags and file format (line end)
attributes
were not restored because they are not available in any
archive format. The extended attributes are the apsl flags
that are set by the extattr command. A pax format archive
can
be used to store the audit flags and file format, and -p e
will restore them when available.

Subject: pax and extended attributes
*** This email is from an external source - be careful of attachments and

I have to move some directory trees from one file system location to another.
The tree is rather complex (dozen directories, hundreds files) and some files
do have extended attributes.
My goal is to preserve all the metadata like files ownership, FSP, ACL, tags,
audit flags, etc.
I tried to use pax
pax -wvf /u/pack1 -x pax . (current directory)
and then
pax -rvf /u/pack1 . (also current directory, but different one)
It looks OK, but a flag is lost.
The user is UID 0 (after su command) and has READ authority to
BPX.FILEATTR.*
Did I miss something?
Finally I used copytree, but this tool does not allow to create temporary
packages, which is some disadvantage in my scenario.
Or maybe there is just another tool to accomplish the task?
