(-stable 1999.12.28 + Win98 (FAT32) here.)
After verification, surprisingly, I cannot state the change date on my
C in windows. I am quite surprise of that. Even a 'dir C:' doesn't
give me a '.' entry. Strange. This may be related. (??)
How can one state the change date on a drive? chkdsk gives me only the
creation date. Is there a change date _at all_ for disks in DOS???
Also, I would like to point out, even if it may be obvious to some
people, that unmounting the filesystem (/dos) gives back a more
sensible date for the directory. Also, mounting the dos partition on
another directory doesn't solve the problem.
Small example:
anarcat$ mount /dos
anarcat$ ls -dl /dos
drwxrwx--- 1 root dos 4096 Jan 1 1980 /dos
anarcat$ umount /dos
anarcat$ ls -dl /dos
drwxrwx--- 2 root dos 512 Feb 24 1999 /dos
anarcat$ mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /mnt
ls anarcat$ ls -ld /mnt
drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4096 Jan 1 1980 /mnt
anarcat$ umount /mnt
anarcat$
And obviously, a change in the directory does not update the date...
