Hi,

Suppose I have the following directory structure

/

| - destination (mode=0755)

     | - dir (mode=0755)

          | - file.txt (mode=0644)

| - source

My user has a umask of 0077. Now if I run the following cp command

cp -aR --no-preserve=mode /source/* /destination

I think the mode of destination/dir should stay as 0755 but it changes to 0700. Is this expected?

I am using coreutils 8.26-3 on Debian Stretch

Thanks & Regards
