Hi

I've noticed that with softupdates enabled the syncher modifies
file atime and mtime to the time that they're "synced", even though
the actual modify time was correctly recorded intially:

ls -lT *.rrd ; sleep 10 ; ls -lT *.rrd ; sync ; ls -lT *.rrd
-rw-r--r--  1 ianf  wheel  20184160 Jun 11 07:46:07 2008 10.19D24C010800.rrd
-rw-r--r--  1 ianf  wheel  20184160 Jun 11 07:46:07 2008 10.19D24C010800.rrd
-rw-r--r--  1 ianf  wheel  20184160 Jun 11 07:46:19 2008 10.19D24C010800.rrd

This last time in the listing time is the time that sync was executed.

Ian
