I wonder if it would make sense to export the time stamp granuality of the time stamps?

I think NTFS et.al. also have some more time stamps, but not sure there's enough space for that. -Andi -- ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Speaking for myself only. -- 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
