In the last episode (Jun 18), Peter Leftwich said: > Ponder this... Why is it "/etc/fstab" and not "/etc/mount.conf" ?? It's a shortcut for "filesystem table", I believe. fsck, dump, edquota, swapon and tunefs use it too. See the fstab manpage for more info. > Ponder this...

All ufs-based filesystems I've ever seen support accessed, modified, and inode-changed (metadata) timestamps. ufs2 (5.x's default filesystem) also apparently supports a "birth" timestamp, which probably corresponds with windows' Create. See the stat(2) manpage for more details. > PS - Please CC: me in your reply! Standard procedure for these lists. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
