(-stable 1999.12.28 + Win98 (FAT32) here.) After verification, surprisingly, I cannot state the change date on my C in windows. I am quite surprise of that. Even a 'dir C:' doesn't give me a '.' entry. Strange. This may be related. (??) How can one state the change date on a drive? chkdsk gives me only the creation date. Is there a change date _at all_ for disks in DOS??? Also, I would like to point out, even if it may be obvious to some people, that unmounting the filesystem (/dos) gives back a more sensible date for the directory. Also, mounting the dos partition on another directory doesn't solve the problem. Small example: anarcat$ mount /dos anarcat$ ls -dl /dos drwxrwx--- 1 root dos 4096 Jan 1 1980 /dos anarcat$ umount /dos anarcat$ ls -dl /dos drwxrwx--- 2 root dos 512 Feb 24 1999 /dos anarcat$ mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /mnt ls anarcat$ ls -ld /mnt drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4096 Jan 1 1980 /mnt anarcat$ umount /mnt anarcat$ And obviously, a change in the directory does not update the date... -- Si l'image donne l'illusion de savoir C'est que l'adage pretend que pour croire, L'important ne serait que de voir Lofofora -- Si l'image donne l'illusion de savoir C'est que l'adage pretend que pour croire, L'important ne serait que de voir Lofofora To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
