Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Now, another question. In ext2, what is the point of the dtime field? Personaly, I'm never setting it, because, well, if an inode is removed, it's removed, and nobody is supposed to access it again; and anyways, since no syscall allows seeing it, the dtime seems to me like nothing but an information leakage. But I doubt you would have put a useless data in the filesystem, so I'm likely overlooking something; if so, what is it? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
