           Summary: XFS does not update directory mtime when changes made in
                    directory
           Product: Linux XFS
           Version: Current
          Platform: IA32
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: High
         Component: XFS kernel code
        AssignedTo: xfs-master@xxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: kpfleming@xxxxxxx


What kernel are you using: 2.5.64-bk7

Where did the XFS code come from?  (CVS, Linus, your distribution, etc): Linus

Description of Problem:

Create a directory on an XFS filesystem. stat the directory and note the mtime
and ctime. touch a file in the directory (creating a new file). stat the
directory again. The ctime will have been updated, but not the mtime.

"sync" has no effect. Repeatedly creating/removing files and/or directories will
_sometimes_ update the mtime, but when it does update it changes to a time still
in the past, not the time of the most recent change in the directory.
