Operating Systems Solaris Zfs - what does atime update? Post 302954685 by jabberwocky on Thursday 10th of September 2015 07:00:32 AM

vielen Dank

Don,Peasant,jlliagre,

Thank-you for your replies; my post was to determine how I could see the effect of setting atime=off for zfs. Unfortunately I cannot install the gnu utils for solaris to get stat available, due to rigid change control. I have not come across ls -lu before; I have tried repeatedly catting the file atimetest.txt today, but that does not show any change in the ls -lu output.
I am happy to accept that the default setting for atime (=on) updates the inode data, which is something I cannot see easily, in my current setup.

Why updating atime doesn't update ctime?

Hi, ctime is the inode change time. If reading a file, its atime will be updated, which should cause inode member i_atime changed, which is an inode change. So ctime should also be updated. But if I try to ls a directory on redhat, only the directory atime gets updated, not ctime. Why? THANKS! (2 Replies)
