Summary: mtim.tv_nsec not used when reading time of a file Product: rsync Version: 3.0.6 Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P3 Component: core AssignedTo: way...@samba.org ReportedBy: anto...@dellelce.com QAContact: rsync...@samba.org tv_nsec field in stat structure is not used (source code I checked does not refer to it) if available. This results in files being not "completely" aligned because the original file will have nanoseconds set all other destinations have this portion of file information set to 0. A pratical example of when this might become a problem is Apache's ETag generation, Apache HTTPD correctly reads tv_nsec when available (Solaris,Cygwin have that feature for example) and puts the value of tv_nsec in the ETag. A cluster of Etag-generating httpds behind a load balancer would generate all the same ETag but the "master" source which would have an ETag with no microseconds (ETags are limited to microseconds..) so defeating the ETag purpose. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
