hi,

i used find . -depth -print | cpio -pdm /target-directory

to copy files from sun box to filer.

if i look at the the file creation dates on the filer from an nfs mount they look okay, the same as on the source.

but if i look at the creation dates from a cifs connection using dir /tc

~~~~~~~~~~~ C:\WINNT>dir /?|more Displays a list of files and subdirectories in a directory.

DIR [drive:][path][filename] [/P] [/W] [/D] [/A[[:]attributes]] [/O[[:]sortorder]] [/T[[:]timefield]] [/S] [/B] [/L] [/N] [/X] [/C]

/T Controls which time field displayed or used for sorting timefield C Creation A Last Access W Last Written ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and some other utils the creation date on the files is the date i cp'd the files over.

the files are in a unix style qtree and i am running ontap 6.01r3d3.

any ideas? i would really like the creation dates to be correct for all access methods.
