Will the final version of the extended file system have atime/ctime
included. ?
I remember reading someone say that these arent really important
but in fact atime ("when was file xxx last read?")
is very useful, both for debugging (is X really reading that .xxxx file?)
and for file maintenance ,esp. on a small disk like most linuxers have.
eg ("What fonts are not being used ?") ...
find xxx/fonts -atime +7 -print
tells you what fonts you havent accessed in a week
and can probably move offline to floppy.
The above ISNT a complaint!!!
Linux is the best thing thats ever happened to PC's
I've used Linux for a month and I'm still
amazed that I can have very nearly the same environment
on my little PC at home as the SUN I use at work
(and it's more fun to use!)
