    From the above messages, looks like "cp" (/usr/bin/cp -- AIX cp) command got a invalid flag and it throws these warnings/errors.
    Can you give more details about what is tried here using createrepo ?

    nothing special..just the usual createrepo call after reposync...

    Bet you it's picking up the wrong cp. Do you have coreutils.rpm installed? It provides the GNU cp, which has a lot more flags than the AIX one does.

    The other thing is that dnf's reposync can now copy the metadata too. You don't need to use createrepo anymore.
