Hey Guys,
I have also noticed this problem; we have a ftp server with samba on it. I
was trying to use find with mtime to remove folders older then 6 months.
However when a folder is moved through a samba share the date stamp stays
the same.
This causes issues as old folders that want to be kept are moved; however
the date stamp still remains the same.
Is this going to be fixed in 3.2.0?
Cheers,
Adrian S.

Can you test against 3.0.25a (or soon b) to see if this is
currently a problem please ?
Thanks,
Jeremy.
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this.
I have checked the latest Samba version, and the same behavior I saw in
3.0.22 also exists in 3.0.25b. Any ideas what might be happening, or how
to
fix this?
Thanks,
Carlos
