emcopy changes owner and group security settings on bimodal data

If I run an isi_vol_copy_vnx, all permissions look good, but if I leverage emcopy to do a quick incremental copy, the owner and group are changed, even when the /nosec option is used.  Is there a way to leverage emcopy and have newly added files copied with the same permissions as isi_vol_copy_vnx?

isi_vol_copy_vnx permission

OWNER: user:213

GROUP: group:203

emcopy permission with /nosec

OWNER: user:root

GROUP: group:wheel

emcopy permission with /secforce

OWNER: SID:S-1-5-18-1-213

GROUP: SID:-S-1-5-18-1-203

Thanks for any input

you want to retain the posix permissions. emcopy is smb - based thus it will validate ACLs and tries to copy them.

SID:S-1-5-18-1 means it is "local System" a well known SID and -213 is your owner from the source

if you want to stay on posix perms you should copy using i.e. rsync or (as you do) isi_vol_copy_vnx

Thank you, I was under the impression I would still be able to copy the files while maintaining their current security settings.

EMCcopy is similar Robocopy from Microsoft. Similar errors also. It's just for SMB/CIFS.
