I can add something to this. This is happening in Jaunty as of today. If you rely on the fstab entry as set up by the Jaunty installer for an internal partition (device mountpoint ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1), you get:
Nautilus file copy ext3 partition -> NTFS partition - date/time changed to current. Nautilus file copy NTFS partition -> ext3 partition - date/time preserved. But if you change the fstab entry to a simple: device mountpoint ntfs defaults 0 0 ...date and time stamps are preserved both ways. In fact that's what I've been using (or with filesystem field = ntfs-3g) for quite some and I have yet to have a problem with it. Also to add: date/time is preserved copying both ways with an automounted external NTFS drive. No problem there. -- New timestamp when copying to NTFS partition https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/314860 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
