On an EXT3 file system, I see the following: dave@mx3210:~$ touch xyzzy dave@mx3210:~$ ls --full-time xyzzy -rw-r--r-- 1 dave dave 0 2008-01-06 15:07:01.000000000 -0500 xyzzy However, on tmpfs, proc, etc., I see the sub-seconds time. This is 2.6.22.14 and 2.6.22.15. The behavior of 32 and 64-bit kernels seems to be the same. With an old 2.6 x86 kernel (suse), I see sub-second times on a EXT3 file system. Dave -- J.
