Question mv folders/files without changing modified date?
Hi all,

I'm using Red Hat Linux and want to move some folders and files around but not change the modified date. Is this possible?

I know cp has a -p flag which seems to do what I want, but this is a large volume of data so copying and deleting would not be feasible.
