Hi, I seem to have a problem with CAP's Aufs. Whenever I copy a file from a Mac to the Aufs Sever the dates (i.e the creation date and the modification date) of the copy change to the time the file was copied. This doesn't happen if I copy a file from the Mac disk to e.g. a floppy. Is this a bug or a feature, and if it is a bug is there a fix for it? (I'm using the Rutgers Version - RU-CAP2) Any help would be appreciated. Stefan Grimm Mathematisches Institut der Universtaet Basel, Schweiz grimm@urz.unibas.ch

UNIX doesn't know about creation date; there is no place to put it in the file information. There are only access time, modification time, and change of i-node time. So aufs just goes for the earliest one. Blech. pr -- Pete Resnick (...so what is a mojo, and why would one be rising?)
