FreeFileSync problem
by rac8006 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#59JJE)
I copied some files from one system to another system and forgot to keep the file modification time.
So I used stat and touch to change the modified date to math the original file. The new file is in a raid mirror. When I run FreeFileSync it states that the modified times are different. So again I use stat and touch to change the time to match. Then stat both files thy are identical. I then recompare the files and again it says that the time does not match. The new file always changes to the same date in the past about 2 months more current that it is supposed to be. I
tried to do a couple of sync commands. This did not help. To be honest there are over 11,000 files that I'm running my script to change the date. When I run FreeFileSync it finds 72 files different. I even modified the the script to show the date of the original file change the date and then stat the new file. The log shows that the two date are the same. But when I run the FreeFileSync the new file reverts back to the wrong date.
Any help would be appreciated.
