Hello,
Trying to figure out an off-site mirror strategy for my BackupPC store,
I take note that lots of files under cpool have their `ctime` changed
regularly, e.g.:
```
% stat /srv/backuppc/cpool/d2/58/d259d622983aa9b756021b50df69a6ea
File: /srv/backuppc/cpool/d2/58/d259d622983aa9b756021b50df69a6ea
Size: 4417 Blocks: 16 IO Block: 4096 regular file
Device: 253,0 Inode: 27857695 Links: 1
Access: (0445/-r--r--r-x) Uid: ( 111/backuppc) Gid: ( 117/backuppc)

Birth: 2026-07-01 10:14:34.261213443 +0200
```
At 2:15 last night, it seems that a refCountUpdate was running (which
incidentally reported 23 errors of missing and unexpectedly empty
files).
Does this process randomly update `ctime`s of files? Why? Can I prevent
this?
Thanks,
