I have updated the box (HEAD from Friday, alpha). The phenomenon still persists. I haven't observed any mtime changes on non-executable files. I'm running a small program that uses a kqueue(2) EVFILT_VNODE/NOTE_ATTRIB filter to watch for changes to /bin/*. During the last few hours some files there have changed their mtime without a kernel event being triggered. (An explicit touch(1) does trigger an event.) -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
