Posted November 5, 200717 yr All the files written over the summer to an external FAT32 USB HD now have time stamps that are an hour later. Even those with time stamps in January 2007. The files were copied over using cpio -pdm under Cygwin under XP Home, so as to preserve their time stamps. The bug might be almost anywhere; perhaps in Cygwin, perhaps in XP, or maybe it's an old bug in XP that's been fixed and a counterfix in Cygwin hasn't been removed. As a start, does FAT32 get the file timestamps right on its own? Or do all files change their times by an hour when there's a time change? -- rhhardin@mindspring.com On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.
