>Description:
Since EA support has been added to cp/mv, mv reports the following
when moving directories (perhaps also for files) from one UFS file system
to another UFS file system:
        mv: system extended attribute will not be preserved

I've never created any EAs, so the warning is even unnecessary.

That's a probem which will be difficult to solve: when you move
across filesystems, you do a cp -p and delete. When copying as
un unprivilegied user, system extended attributes cannot be copied,
since they are only accessible to root. But this is really troublesome
since we do not even have a way tp discover if there are system EA or
not.
