On the host system I have (in my home directory) a file

ls -la *.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 A users 40749 Mar 3 2023 Opensuse_beer_label.jpg

when I copy this file to the shared directory

cp -a Opensuse_beer_label.jpg /mnt/Lokal/VM_share/

everything looks fine (on the host)

ls -la /mnt/Lokal/VM_share/ total 64 drwxr-xr-x 3 A users 4096 Feb 27 09:51 . drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Jan 3 2022 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 A users 40749 Mar 3 2023 Opensuse_beer_label.jpg

but on the guest system I see in the shared folder

ls -la total 64 drwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf 4096 Jan 1 1970 . dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Feb 27 09:40 .. -rwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf 40749 Feb 27 09:44 Opensuse_beer_label.jpg

The timestamps in the share of the VM don’t make sense to me. This happens to all files copied to the share. Even when I copy files in the guest to the share their timestamps are changed (in the share) to the current date . However when I look at those files on the host they do have the correct date; i.e. the date of the original file in the guest. On MS Windows 11 (bare metal) with virtualbox 7.0.14 and openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240225 as guest I see the same behaviour. Kubuntu (as guest) does not show this behaviour although it uses VBoxGuestAdditions_7.0.14 as well. I discussed this already here: https://forums.opensuse.org/t/files-in-the-virtualbox-share-show-wrong-times... and a third user could very this behaviour in its setup as well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
