Hmm, I think I can understand your point. But it won't be so easy to decide because it is against a generic filesystem behaviour. Very basic behaviour: - on ext2 or something $ > fileA $ stat fileA $ sleep 1 $ chown $(id -u) fileA $ stat fileA - then you can see only ctime was changed. If we introduce "ignore_isolated_ctime_change" mount option, then this behaviour breaks. Ok, that is intentinal and won't be a problem. Hmm, I need to consider more about it. Give me some time. J. R.
