Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
nautilus 1:2.30.1-0ubuntu1.1 in Ubuntu Lucid
When copying files in Nautilus, the low 3 decimal digits in the copy are
set to zero. In other words, it only preserves 2-microsecond resolution.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a file (on a filesystem supporting nanosecond timestamps) and view
its timestamp:
usern...@host:/dev/shm$ touch original-file
usern...@host:/dev/shm$ ls --full-time original-file
-rw-r--r-- 1 username username 0 2010-09-19 07:27:56.463178584 +0000
original-file
2. Copy file in Nautilus to the same or another filesystem, and view new file's
timestamp
# original-file copied to file-nautilus
usern...@host:/dev/shm$ ls --full-time file-nautilus
-rw-r--r-- 1 username username 0 2010-09-19 07:27:56.463178000 +0000
file-nautilus
Expected result: New file has exactly the same timestamp. For example, cp
--preserve=all works properly:
usern...@host:/dev/shm$ cp --preserve=all original-file file-cp
usern...@host:/dev/shm$ ls --full-time file-cp
-rw-r--r-- 1 username username 0 2010-09-19 07:27:56.463178584 +0000 file-cp
Actual result: last 3 digits of copy are 000.
