As nice as it would be to be able to represent old timestamps in the file system, we've never been able to before (at least consistently), and I think the simplicity benefits for compatibility with current code bases of sticking with the POSIX epoch are substantial. I don't have an opinion on the granularity. For me, the benefits of matching NFS and the POSIX timestamp granularity is fairly evenly balanced against the drawbacks of increasing the size of all of our protocol packets. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ AFS3-standardization mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/afs3-standardization
