https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48751 Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |jack@xxxxxxx --- Comment #4 from Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> 2012-10-17 22:52:55 --- Yeah, the reason is that /tmp/a/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive is written to via mmap. ext3 (since it does not support delayed allocation) allocates blocks for the written data only when flusher thread decides to do writeback on the inode (which is 30s after the file is written). This allocation changes i_blocks field of the inode and thus inode's ctime has to be changed as well. I understand this is counter-intuitive but that's just how the filesystem works... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
