Apparently there was some issue with this, once upon a time, which resulted in our rpms needing to update the po files... I guess I need to do a bit more code archeology / research. It looks like sct added this when the pkg updated to 1.36, though there is no comment about why. I inherited lots of history when I got e2fsprogs, so please forgive me as I work through it. :) One question though, then - what is the existing timestamp removal mechanism for, then? -Eric - 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
