Subject: Could btrfs-restore be extended to also restore file dates?
Date: Tue, 22 May 2012 15:42:05 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4FBC082D.9020707@sedsystems.ca> (raw)
Any possibility of getting btrfs-restore to also restore the files
timestamp?
I'm doing a restore right now as I had one btrfs partition blow up and
I'm noting that the timestamps are marking all the restored files as
new. It would be nice to be able to do a quick compare of file dates to
determine any changed files that may be newer on the restore vs the
backup. (I can save full file compares for when the server is not being
actively used.)
I do realize it is possible that there could be other issues, but for
quickly determining potential issues this could be useful.
I do realize that there may be technical reasons for the current
behavior, so at the very least this is suggestion for future
functionality even if it doesn't help me.
