It would be interesting to know the strace output to see what system calls were called and the values sent to them. strace -e trace=file cp -p jnk jnkcopy On my system I see something similar to this: utimes("/proc/self/fd/5", {1201838103, 1924}) = 0 It would also be interesting to know the type of filesystem. One way to see this is by looking with the -T option to df which will indicate the type of the filesystem. df -T . > # ls --version > ls (coreutils) 5.2.1 Was this self compiled or did it come as part of a software distribution?
