Hey Jeremy, Thank you for the super quick response. I was not aware that they were stored in an EA. Is there anyway to see the contents of the EA? (attr -l shows nothing). This is an XFS filesystem. I'm pretty sure the user told me that those files were only put on the server on the 5th but I will verify that.
So if a file is created outside samba I assume it will use the POSIX dates right? That's confusing....
