cp and mv are not preserving the file timestamps when copying from a
ext4 file system to a smb file system.
I am running cp and mv on:
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Release: 10
Codename: buster
SMB is running on:
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 9.12 (stretch)
Release: 9.12
Codename: stretch
I am using "cp -pi" to copy the files and "mv -i" to move them.
If I run cp or mv on a Debian stretch, time stamps will be correct on
the SMB file system.
Buster gnome3 file manager will copy or move the files without problems,
I mean, they will preserve time stamps.
This started happening since I upgraded my workstation to buster, so the
problem seems to be in buster. I am mounting the file system on buster
with the following line added to fstab, which, by the way, is the same I
was using when my workstation was running stretch:
//192.168.1.2/alberto /mnt/u1/rw cifs
credentials=/root/pass/alberto.pass,uid=alberto,gid=alberto,rw 0 0
Does anyone knows which package is causing this behavior?
Alberto
