Comment 26 for bug 2007055

@Nicholas Neumann: Interesting! So the only difference is, that Windows clients do not specify the "Last Access" attribute. So in case of a Windows client, you expect and see a modification date of Nov 22, 2023 13:15:09 on the NAS, for the Linux client (which transmits the "Last Access" attribute), you expect Nov 22, 2023 13:15:09 but get Jan 22, 2024 13:15:35?

I'm a bit helpless in understanding how one would _change_ a file on Jan 22, 2024 13:23:52 without actually _writing_ to it (which happened on Nov 22, 2023 13:15:09) and why the time stamps for "Last Access" and "Last Change" are not identical, but that's probably just one more particularity of the Linux file system.

Whatever may be the case, I do not think it is correct when the Synology NAS' SMB server module confuses the presence of "Last Access" (which could have been either read or write) with "Last Change", effectively overwriting the modification date of the file (which seems to be defined by "Last Write").

SMB: the final frontier. These are the voyages of numerous Linux enthusiasts. Their perpetual mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new software and new functionality; to boldly go where no man has gone before!
