Subject: btrfs truncate() does not change inode times
Date: Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:39:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F05A821.8090202@tonian.com> (raw)

Hi all,
I was running fstest (http://www.tuxera.com/community/posix-test-suite/) on btrfs. Only one test failed, and I believe it to be a bug in btrfs. The scenario is as follows:
* crate a file.
* note its times with stat.
* sleep a few seconds
* call truncate() on the file (not ftruncate(). ftruncate() works).
* sync
* note the file's times again with stat.
expected result: ctime and mtime are greater.
actual result: ctime and mtime remain unchanged.

Example:
[root@fedora-client pjd-fstest-20080816]# pwd
/test/pjd-fstest-20080816
[root@fedora-client pjd-fstest-20080816]# mount | grep /test
/dev/loop0 on /test type btrfs (rw,relatime)
[root@fedora-client pjd-fstest-20080816]# touch ctime_test
[root@fedora-client pjd-fstest-20080816]# stat ctime_test
  File: `ctime_test'
