e4defrag modifies folder's mtime.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
