Are you using cp(1) with the '-p' option?  If so, I do believe this has
something to do with PR bin/20646: for more information, see
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=20646

Anyway, can you do an 'ls -l' on the files on the ext2fs system that
you are trying to copy, and an 'ls -l' on the files on the UFS system
after the copying ends, and also paste the exact command line that
you are using?

G'luck,
Peter

Actually, I found out why. I had to use the fsck_ext2fs on the ext2 
partition, it cleaned some of the errors up on the drive and I can copy 
everything now. Perhaps someone needs to patch mount_ext2 to include a 
message about using the FreeBSD port "fsck_ext2fs" on a dirty ext2fs 
filesystem..

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

Pilot error: the filesystem was not really clean.
