hi, When copying a file to a cifs mounted share, the times are not preserved when I use "rsync -a" or smbclient. It is not a problem of rights on the target directory, because the same copy works with "scp" or "cp -p", and the times are then preserved. Even the command "touch -r source_file target_file" works. This looks like a bug, but I'd like to know whether anybody has an explanation about this difference of behaviour. -- Pierre Frenkiel

One would think that it is not the right list for questions about rsync(although the problem occurs only with cifs shares), but smbclient is part of the samba suite. Any help would be appreciated. -- Pierre Frenkiel
