[PATCH 2/2] erofs-utils: mkfs: use mtime instead of ctime

David Anderson dvander at google.com
Fri Mar 11 15:17:24 AEDT 2022


Change the default timestamp behavior to use modification time rather
than creation time. This will allow more control over the output
timestamps when not using TIMESTAMP_FIXED.

EROFS_FEATURE_COMPAT_MTIME has been added so tooling can detect the
change in timestamp behavior.
