On my system, the initial (creation) time for a file seems to be around 7 minutes shifted to the past. This is reproducible:
~/thome/tmp $ date Thu Aug 16 16:49:18 2007 ~/thome/tmp $ ls -l dummy3 ls: cannot access dummy3: No such file or directory ~/thome/tmp $ echo x >dummy3 ~/thome/tmp $ date Thu Aug 16 16:49:35 2007 ~/thome/tmp $ ls -l dummy3 -rw-r--r-- 1 rfischer mkgroup-l-d 2 Aug 16 16:42 dummy3 As you can see, ls -l shows 16:42 for the creation time, when it was actually created around 16:49. This problem does NOT occur with file modification time: ~/thome/tmp $ date Thu Aug 16 16:51:12 2007 ~/thome/tmp $ touch dummy3 ~/thome/tmp $ ls -l dummy3 -rw-r--r-- 1 rfischer mkgroup-l-d 2 Aug 16 16:51 dummy3 Any idea what could possibly be the reason for this oddity?
