Well, if i_size has changed, then the visible results of reading from the file will change, so in that case I'd argue m_time should change. If the results of reading file doesn't change then we can keep m_time unchanged --- but since the inode is changing, c_time *should* always change any time we've made any changes to the extent tree. - Ted -- 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
