Won't the directory mtime change as the result of a rename or unlink?

Is there *any* case, not even necessarily involving conservative merge, where it would be harmful to propagate the latest ctime/mtime for any replica of a directory? _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxxx http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
