Hello everyone, I've been using aufs in a netboot environment for a while now and I noticed that the somtimes timestamps on files aren't updated.
When appending to a file that exists on a lower layer but doesn't exist on a writable layer yet, the file will be copied up but the timestamps won't be updated even after closing the file. Once the file exists on a writable layer, the timestamps are updated on write as expected. I'm using the aufs (version 20080922) and kernel (2.6.27-11) from the Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10) repository. Could someome try to reproduce this behaviour? Maybe it's already fixed in the newest aufs version, even though the changelog doesn't list any related changes. How to reproduce: Look for a file that can safely be appended but doesn't exist on a writable layer yet. echo something >> file Timestamps should be the same as before. If you have /var/log on an aufs-mount, check the timestamps of the syslog files. They should be outdated. Greets, ~Mattias
