That's just portability advice. We can ignore it. utimes is supposed to work and is preferable to utime in this situation. For details please see Ulrich Drepper's paper "Defensive Programming for Red Hat Enterprise Linux" <http://people.redhat.com/drepper/defprogramming.pdf>. > To make sure I > did the same operations in a true nfs directory also. Since it occurs only with NFS, it appears to be a bug in the NFS implementation you're using, either on the client or the server side. See <http://fancy.se/fc5/repoview/kernel-xen0-0-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.html> and look for #183208 for an example of this sort of bug. I'm not expert in Red Hat 4 but I imagine someone else on this list is, and may be able to pinpoint the bug more precisely. Good luck. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
