I think maybe you are learning some of the limitations of vfat file systems.
Please show a complete example of how you do cp from ext3 to ext3 and
the date is not preserved. Including any alias you may be using.
carl
alias cp cp -i # I want to update this to cp -ip
alias ll ls -lFct # it was that c flag that shows the ctime on the
file that was messing me up
the commands issued are
cp -p tmp2.txt tmp3.txt #this was submitted from my home directory.
ll tmp?.txt
I would get out different dates because the ctime or cdate was listed
rather than the modify date. I am not running email on a Linux machine,
so it would take me more time than I have at this moment to show the
results. I have changed my alias for ll and it works now.
Thanks for the help.
Cheers,
Marieke
