I would argue that just migrating the file data shouldn't update the ctime/mtime. Those are used to determine if the file has changed in some way, usually for the purpose of backup. Migrating the data does not change anything from the user-space POV and shouldn't force a new backup of the file. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
