Re: ZFS, chflags and installworld

Hi again,
I'm not so sure that it's useable.
For instance (_after_ running installworld):
# pwd
/usr/obj/usr/src/bin/cat
# diff cat /bin/cat
Files cat and /bin/cat differ
# cp cat /bin
# diff cat /bin/cat
#

Or, in english, the files doesn't seem to be installed by installworld.
What I don't understand though, is why installworld receives
"Operation not supported" errors while my simple cp (or install(1))
works every time. I have very limited experience using flags, though.
Are flags retained when files are copied to a ZFS filesystem, even
though ZFS doesn't actually support them? I have no idea how or
where flags are actually "stored"... Or if there's a way to remove
them.

Regards,
Thomas
