I noticed a problem with Samba when running xfstest 236. xfstest/236 does touch file1 stat file1 ln file1 file2 stat file2 And checks to make sure ctime is updated. Locally I can see the ctime is updated, but Samba reports the value of mtime in both mtime and ctime (and doesn't show the change to ctime which causes the test to fail) root@smfrench-ThinkPad-P52:/mnt2# stat /test/out1 File: /test/out1 Size: 0 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular empty file Device: 10302h/66306d Inode: 552933716 Links: 2 Access: (0777/-rwxrwxrwx) Uid: ( 1000/smfrench) Gid: ( 1000/smfrench) Access: 2023-05-09 15:49:37.000109800 -0500 Modify: 2023-05-09 15:49:37.000109800 -0500 Change: 2023-05-09 15:50:08.405799460 -0500 Birth: 2023-05-09 15:49:36.980131061 -0500 root@smfrench-ThinkPad-P52:/mnt2# stat out1 File: out1 Size: 0 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 1048576 regular empty file Device: 35h/53d Inode: 226 Links: 2 Access: (0777/-rwxrwxrwx) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: 2023-05-09 15:49:37.000109800 -0500 Modify: 2023-05-09 15:49:37.000109800 -0500 Change: 2023-05-09 15:49:37.000109800 -0500 Birth: 2023-05-09 15:49:36.980131000 -0500 # /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -V Version 4.19.0pre1-GIT-3633027e49a -- Thanks, Steve
