I have a problem with file mod times using AFR.
this is really bad:
server1# ls -al vfc017.jpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 group1 47660 2008-07-10 14:06 vfc017.jpg
server1# ls -alu vfc017.jpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 group1 47660 2008-07-10 14:06 vfc017.jpg
server2# ls -al vfc017.jpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 group1 47660 2008-12-23 09:25 vfc017.jpg
server2# ls -alu vfc017.jpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 group1 47660 2008-12-29 15:55 vfc017.jpg
so, there are programs and such which look for files modified after a
certain date, and does stuff to them.
if this is a web app, for example, and it hits the server with the
newer date (the date AFR copied the file I presume?) then it thinks
every single thing is new and does it's processing.
Shouldn't AFR set the file mod and create times to that of the
original source file?
However, once it's in this state, I'm not sure how to fix it in an
automated way, but hopefully there will be a patch so that this
doesn't happen in the future.
