I suppose that 1 Jan 1980 date (or DOS epoch) was normal. FAT root directory is different than others, for example it does not have a true "parent" entry with attrs, times etc. It cannot also grow easily. Even it's cluster number is a special case (0) or MSDOSFS_ROOT. Anyone wants to see my "/dos" entry on otherwise-compliant Solaris 2.5/Intel? # ls -ld /dos drwxrwxrwx 1 root other 16384 Jan 1 1970 /dos It's even UNIX epoch! :) -- << Marcin Cieslak // saper@system.pl >> ----------------------------------------------------------------- SYSTEM Internet Provider http://www.system.pl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
