Date: Sun, 01 Jan 2012 21:12:36 +0100 From: Thomas Lindroth <thomas.lindroth@...il.com> To: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org Subject: e4defrag modifies folder's mtime. I ran e4defrag from e2fsprogs-1.42 on a file system and a lot of folders had their mtime updated as a result. This confuses both my backup program and myself. I guess the folder timestamps change because the temporary donor file is created in the same directory as the original file. XFS's defrag program put the donor files in a temporary folder in the root of the file system. Maybe e4defrag could do the same. /Thomas Lindroth -- 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
