Hello Rich, Great, the SFS hardfile stuff works. But I still have wierd issues regarding file datestamps... See the file ".folders" from one of my YAM message bases. This is how Linux sees it on the CD: martin@deepdance:~$ ls -l /cdrom/Messages/YAM/Lichtschiff/.folders -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1855 2004-05-31 14:48 /cdrom/Messages/YAM/Lichtschiff/.folders This is how the emulated Amiga sees it when I copy it "rsync" under Debian Linux to one of its virtual filesystems: 5.System:> list Messages:YAM/Lichtschiff/.folders Directory "Messages:YAM/Lichtschiff" on Samstag 31-Jul-04 .folders 1855 ----rwed 31-Mai-04 13:48:05 1 file - 9 blocks used 5.System:> There is already one hour difference. The same goes for any other file from any virtual filesystem. So the directory Amiga in my linux home directory which is mounted unter "Martin:" on the Amiga according to Linux is 13:49. But according to Amiga its 12:49. But it even gets wierder: This is how the Amiga sees the ".folders"-file on the CD: 5.System:> list Lichtschiff-CD:Messages/YAM/Lichtschiff/.folders Directory "Lichtschiff-CD:Messages/YAM/Lichtschiff" on Samstag 31-Jul-04 .folders 1855 ----rwed 31-Mai-04 12:48:05 1 file - 1 block used So this is even another hour less. But then at least when I copy this file under the Amiga the time stays the same: 5.System:> copy Lichtschiff-CD:Messages/YAM/Lichtschiff/.folders "" clone 5.System:> list .folders .folders 1855 ----rwed 31-Mai-04 12:48:05 1 file - 9 blocks used So who actually shows the correct time? I am just booting my real Amiga to check the time of the file on the CD from it: Actually the Amiga side is right: My A4000 says that the file really is 12:48:05! So to be on the safe side for now, I will copy the whole message base stuff to the SFS hardfile partitions I created for it. It seems to be the fastest alternative anyway. (See my other mail regarding speed tests). Now it would be interesting to know why Linux insists that the file is one hour later. What does it assume regarding the timestamp of the files on the CD? Does it assume UTC? Or does it assume any local time? I can imagine that it assumes UTC time. While the Amiga assumes local time, but that would mean 2 hours difference in central european summer time while there is only one. Regards, -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de
