Both, but I am mainly using the xfs. I have a lot of small files. The files themselves keep their times, but the directories all change.
ls -l shows you the mtime of a file or directory, i.e. the time it was modified. Did something change inside the directory?
No, nothing changed. Here is what ls -l shows
osr6:/home/zenez/etc # ls -l

Notice only the directory timestamp has changed. also note they all have
the same time. All the files within the directories have there orignal
timestamps. Only the directories have changed.
