Correct answer is A rynsc. Question says all permissions and attributes. -H --> preserve hard links -A --> preserve permissions -X --> preserve extended attributes

I used rsync -axXSAH to copy everything over. rsync -aHAX (add v for verbosity) makes sure that you preserve any link structure and x-attrs in the target folder while copying. Don't forget a means archive and preserves time, ownership and permissions already.

Isn't rsync best for continuous copy? I would think C for a one-time move, which I think the question is asking.
