IMPORTANT UPDATE: My above experience was made as DOMAIN\Administrator. However, I tested it with several ordinary users and by all of them only the access time is affected. The ctime and mtime remain the same, as long as no change is committed to the disk. It is strange enough that Administrator's access should also change the ctime but what you report about mtime being changed is beyond the pale. I suspect ext3 is the problem. I heard some people losing all of their data on ext3-formatted disks. Stay away from it. ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...
