The /tmp/ cleaning tools go wrong as well.
what OSS HSM software stops working and what is its failure mode? /tmp cleaning tools will work _just fine_ if we report back max(mtime,ctime) as atime - they'll zap more /tmp stuff as they used to. There's no guarantee for /tmp contents anyway if tmpwatch is running. Or the patch below.
