[PVFS-users] pvfs file times

[Rob Ross]

Hi Eric,

The times on the metadata files don't have anything to do with the actual 
date/time stamp of the PVFS file.  That information is instead contained 
*inside* that file.

There have been a bug reported in that code (see Don Porter's Mon March 
8th post in archives).  Perhaps that is your problem?

Thanks for the report,

Rob
