<para>NTFS and Windows VFAT file systems keep a create
|
|
time for all files and directories. This is not the same as the
|
|
ctime - status change time - that Unix keeps, so Samba by default
|
|
reports the earliest of the various times Unix does keep. Setting
|
|
this parameter for a share causes Samba to always report midnight
|
|
1-1-1980 as the create time for directories.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This option is mainly used as a compatibility option for
|
|
Visual C++ when used against Samba shares. Visual C++ generated
|
|
makefiles have the object directory as a dependency for each object
|
|
file, and a make rule to create the directory. Also, when NMAKE
|
|
compares timestamps it uses the creation time when examining a
|
|
directory. Thus the object directory will be created if it does not
|
|
exist, but once it does exist it will always have an earlier
|
|
timestamp than the object files it contains.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>However, Unix time semantics mean that the create time
|
|
reported by Samba will be updated whenever a file is created
|
|
or deleted in the directory. NMAKE finds all object files in
|
|
the object directory. The timestamp of the last one built is then
|
|
compared to the timestamp of the object directory. If the
|
|
directory's timestamp if newer, then all object files
|
|
will be rebuilt. Enabling this option
|
|
ensures directories always predate their contents and an NMAKE build
|
|
will proceed as expected.</para>
