The following reply was made to PR kern/3267; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Martin Kammerhofer <mkamm@icg.tu-graz.ac.at> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org, sigma@pair.com Cc: Subject: Re: kern/3267: mtime/ctime sometimes updated when a program is run Date: Wed, 16 Apr 1997 14:37:41 +0200 When I was running FreeBSD 2.2-BETA_A I experienced similar problems: Modification times of files occassionally changed (to current time, i.e. they seemed to have been touched) without apparent reason. Since it was reproducable (a Makefile's rules broke consistently due to a modified mtime) I tried to track it down. The mtime changed during an 'install -c' of a large file (a kernel). I ran install under gdb and it was exactly during the *large* read(2) call (when install slurps in the source file) when mtimes changed.
