>Description:
When a NFS client access a file on a 2.0 NFS server (e.g.
cat file > /dev/null), the server doesn't update the atime of the file.
touch(1) does update the atime.
The atime is updated as expected when tested against a 1.6.2 NFS server.
>How-To-Repeat:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
main()
{
struct stat st;
while (1) {
stat("file.test", &st);
printf("size %ld atime %ld mtime %ld\n", (u_long)st.st_size, (u_long)st.st_atime, (u_long)st.st_mtime);
sleep(10);
}
}
run the above program on the server in the appropriate directory.
(you can also run it on the client, it'll give the same results).
On the client, do 'cat file.test' > /dev/null', notice that the
atime isn't updated.
