Re: cp -p : timestamp NOT preserved (coreutils 6.9, Linux)

[Graf, Peter]

Hi Bob and Phil,
please find attached two text files showing outputs of
  strace -e trace=file cp --preserve=timestamps a b
on a linux machine  and of
   truss -t access,execve,open,stat64,utimes cp -p a b
on a Solaris machine (also with gnu coreutils 6.9 acting on the same NFS 
directory.

I hope this helps. (And I hope my sys-admins did a proper setup of our 
system: I admit I do not understand much of the trace-outputs and the 
interaction of the gnu-setup with pathes. ld-library pathes ..).

Cheers,
Peter
