Subject: e4defrag modifies folder's mtime.
Date: Sun, 01 Jan 2012 21:12:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F00BE34.1080006@gmail.com> (raw)
I ran e4defrag from e2fsprogs-1.42 on a file system and a lot of folders
had their mtime updated as a result. This confuses both my backup
program and myself. I guess the folder timestamps change because the
temporary donor file is created in the same directory as the original
file. XFS's defrag program put the donor files in a temporary folder in
the root of the file system. Maybe e4defrag could do the same.
