Re: reiser4: mv changes mtime ?

2005-04-08 Thread Kathy KN (HK)
For your first problem, see fs/reiser4/plugin/dir/hashed_dir.c, line 540, comment "from_dir->i_mtime = CURRENT_TIME;" away, and recompile your kernel. mtime shouldn't update when you try to "mv", and thus will not break your backup scripts. Kathy On Apr 8, 2005 4:51 PM, Mickael Marchand <[EMAI

What does reiserfs_do_truncate do?

2005-04-06 Thread Kathy KN (HK)
Good day all, I know that reiserfs_do_truncate is used to truncate the tails of arbitrary files, but what does truncation really do? Is it an action to remove the file? What do you mean by packing the tails? Compressing it or to delete them or? Kathy
