How to copy directory in Linux
To copy a directory in Linux, the following command must be used:
cp -rfpa dir1 dir2
All four of the parameters (-rfpa) as shown here MUST be used to produce dir2 which is an exact duplicate of dir1.
Most other websites specify just the two options -rf. This is not sufficient for an exact copy.
