In fact, cygwin goes to great lengths to work around this bug in the MVFS file system (that is, duplicate the handle, set atime on the duplicate, close it to force a flush to disk, then set atime on the original). Which file system was the libarchive bug reported on? Maybe we need to reuse the MVFS hack on other file systems. But my experience has been that futimes works correctly on NTFS. -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well! Eric Blake e...@byu.net
