I am (more accurately, my openSUSE 11.2 and 12.1 systems are) affected by this bug:
Did you read the bug that one duplicates? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/25048
Briefly, the symptoms are (copied from the link above):
"When I mount a FAT32 partition, many files appear to have wrong timestamps. Specifically, during the winter months (Standard Time) all files modified in summer appear having their timestamps shifted by +1 hour. During the summer months (when Daylight Savings is in effect) these files have correct timestamps, but all the winter files have their timestamps shifted by -1 hour!
When observing the same files under WinXP or Win98, timestamps always appear the same."
As it seems that this bug has not been fixed yet, I try to solve the problem differently:
I want to copy the files to the hard disk, and shift the time stamps after the copy. Is there a linux command that can do this (to shift the time stamp of multiple files by -1 hour in batch, or copy them with time shift)?
My preferred workaround for the VFAT problem is avoiding use of VFAT. My other workaround is I can usually create an archive of files I want to copy, then extract from the archive into the target location. Maybe "rsync --modify-window=3602" from comment 3 in the duped to bug can make rsync work as you'd wish?
I also would appreciate if someone could explain why the time stamps are handled differently according to winter/summer time.
I see the same problem using MC to FTP to my newest Linux-run A/V settop box. Right now, timestamps on summertime files are showing an hour earlier than the local time when they were last written. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
