There have long been some ~edge cases with how the various timestamps in the volume header are handled on dump, clone, restore, etc.. The change in gerrit 11389 was merged back in August, but exposed another issue, believed to be resolved by 11468, with 11627 on top for good measure. The latter two changes are sitting in gerrit with CodeReview=+2 but have not yet been merged. I believe jhutz has sent some analysis of the relevant issues to this list previously, so I won't try to recap right now. In any case, there seems to be agreement that 11468+11627 is a definite improvement, so we will probably go with them, and defer discussion about whether volume metadata changes should update the header timestamps, as opposed to only volume data updates as is the current state. -Ben _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
