So, say you save a file at 3:00 in winter. When you mount it any other time on any part of the world, any time zone, any time of the year, in an msdos system, it will still say 3:00.
Yes, and linux should do the same.
No, Linux is not Windows.
Not everything Windows does is wrong. Not everything Linux does is right. Regardless of OS, if during the seconds before and after a seasonal change takes place one is staring at a file's timestamp in a file manager that auto-refreshes as directory content changes, one should not see it change. Nothing happened to the file on account of time any more than it happened to a desk or a book, simply getting older less than a attosecond at a time. Poor as FAT is as a filesystem, it is what it is. A timestamp from a FAT filesystem should not be evaluated or interpreted, just reported. It is what *it* is. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
