I'm now 100% convinced that this is a bug in smbfs. It took me way too long to figure this out, but here's the simple proof:
nissan$ ls -lm "/home/rosalind/My Pictures/2001/Stanford/DSCN0047.JPG" -rw-rw-rw- 1 shannon 665496 Mar 17 2002 /home/rosalind/My Pictures/2001/Stanford/DSCN0047.JPG nissan$ ls -lm "/home/rosalind/My Pictures/2001/Stanford/DSCN0047.JPG" -rw-rw-rw- 1 shannon 665496 Jul 3 07:30 /home/rosalind/My Pictures/2001/Stanford/DSCN0047.JPG Those two commands were executed one right after the other. The file is definitely not changing. Somehow, for some reason, smbfs is swapping the mtime and ctime values for files. (Evidence not above, but I saw this in my detailed rdist debugging.) I'll be filing a P1 bug as soon as I get a chance. _______________________________________________ cifs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/cifs-discuss
