atime on xfs

[Artur Iwaniuk]

hello,

can anyone can me explain such stat on my xfs partition:

  File: `194/194.149.231.137'
  Size: 0               Blocks: 0          IO Block: 4096   pusty zwyk³y
plik
Device: 902h/2306d      Inode: 1477457428  Links: 1
Access: (0666/-rw-rw-rw-)  Uid: (  201/  qmaild)   Gid: (  200/ nofiles)
Access: 2006-07-18 09:13:32.903206500 +0200
Modify: 2006-07-18 11:26:23.273786250 +0200
Change: 2006-07-18 11:26:23.273786250 +0200

why access time is earlier than change, modify time ? how is it posible? is
there bug in xfs ?
i am sure, that file was asscessed yesterday, maybe even today

Are you using the noatime mount option? That will cause XFS not to
update the atime, its often used since the filesystem normally
has to write metadata just because someone read the file.
