Hi Dominic, Did you tried "ls -lu" or "ls -lc" to check the time stamp? In some of the format, unix does not support getting those information.
If you still want to try, using fsdb command, and modifying file system itself may work. Use mtime/ctime/atime built-in command whichever you want to change. [man of fsdb] http://pine.ict.nsc.ru/cgi-bin/www/unix_help/unix-man?fsdb+8 Sincerely, Isamu Onoda -- Isamu Onoda mail: [email protected] TEL: 080-3757-6465 IMPERARE SIBI MAXIMVM IMPERIVM EST 2010/8/27 Dominic Fandrey <[email protected]>: > I need to change the file creation time of some files on an > msdosfs file system. > > Is there any other way to do this than copying the file and deleting > the original?
