One undesirable effect is that the timestamp of the original file is 'destroyed' and overwritten by the timestamp when the copying occurs. I want to be able to retain the original timestamp.
use the "-p" flag of the "cp" command.
Thanks for this.
I normally use mc (midnight commander) and unfortunately it doesn't have
an option equivalent to -p so I now have to adapt myself to using a
command line for copying
There is the 'noatime' parameter which can be added to the HD entries in fstab but will this solve my problem (if I add this 'noatime' parameter on all the computers)?
noatime will make your filesystem NOT to update the **access** time of your files. Ah, OK- it only works on the Accessed Date and not on the Modified(/Created) Date.
