That doesn't help. You'd need to use BPXBATCH or PXWUNIX or ..., any
of which is just a wrapper for the same UNIX commands.

Be very careful. Copytree is apt to do unexpected and unwelcome
things with symbolic links, special files, multiply linked files,

A good start. Pax defaults are far more savvy to non-regular files
than copytree. Still be careful:
o The form R.S. suggests is apt to create undesired pathname
qualifiers in /dest-dir. There are (numerous) options to
control this. I prefer, timidly, to:
( cd /source-dir && pax -w . ) | ( cd /dest-dir && pax -r )
o pax provides several archive formats. Only one of these
faithfully copies z/OS extended attributes.
Practice with small test cases. Your zFS is an expendable
test /dest-dir right now.
I hope you're not too frightened,
