I think you're misunderstanding copy2. It will copy the ACL from the source file, not from the target directory or filesystem. Actually, if you look at copy2's implementation, it's just copyfile() followed by copystat().

I think you're misunderstanding copy2. It will copy the ACL from the
source file, not from the target directory or filesystem.
Actually, if you look at copy2's implementation, it's just copyfile()
