Yes. I have opened bug 6836 in samba bugzilla to track having smbd use utimensat (but not sure whether they will be able to detect when the file system can support nanosecond timestamps through - even with use of utimensat - so there may be questions about how to do runtime detection of whether the filesystem is one like ext4, xfs, jfs etc. that can store such timestamps, if not they probably still have to store 100 nanosecond "DCE time" granulariy timestamps in xattrs) The getting (and optionally setting) create time (via xattr) is still an open question, but am hopeful that that won't be hard to add for ext4. -- Thanks, Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
