You have been subscribed to a public bug: When a "cp -puR A B" or a "cp -a A B" command is executed in a NFS environment the message "cp: preserving permissions for '_file_': Operation not supported" is displayed with a return code 1 on the target system. 'A' is a exported directory from an Ubuntu 24.04 Noble, 'B' is an Ubuntu target directory. The /etc/exports in Noble source system come from an Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy and is unchanged. These cp commands worked fine if the source directory was in an older Ubuntu (before Noble) shared directory.
The results of these "error" cp commands are OK but the return code 1 is a problem in a sh script.
