Package: cpio Version: 2.9-13 Severity: normal
I was attempting to copy from a local vfat filesystem to a remote ntfs-3g filesystem preserving the modification times of files. The source filesystem is mounted as: /dev/hda1 on /victoriac type vfat (rw,uid=65534,gid=65534,umask=000) The destination filesystem is mounted as: //10.0.0.5/bigstore on /bigstore type cifs (rw,mand) I attempted a cpio first by doing: cd "/victoriac/some-directory" find . -print0|cpio -pmdv0 /bigstore/some-other-directory but found the modification times of directories and files moved set to the present time. I also tried: find . -print0|cpio -p -mdv0 /bigstore/some-other-directory with the same result. However, if I logged on to the remote system which has the source and destination filesystems mounted as follows: Source: //10.0.0.1/victoriac on /victoriac type cifs (rw,mand) Destination: /dev/hda5 on /bigstore type fuseblk (rw,allow_other,blksize=4096) the directory modification times were set to the present and the file modification times were preserved as the old times when using the following command: cd /victoriac/somedir find . -print0|cpio -p -mdv0 /bigstore/some-other-dir This also preserved file modification times: find . -print0|cpio -pmdv0 /bigstore/some-other-dir Is this a bug with cpio, or limitation of the vfat, smbfs, or ntfs-3g filesystem, or combination of the above? -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.27-rc5 (SMP w/1 CPU core; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cpio depends on: ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries cpio recommends no packages. cpio suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
