Well I would prefer that software to be aware of the filesystem, actually,
it doesn't add much more complexity and removes superblock issues for any
filesystem, as we discussed earlier. But hey, opinions.
I'm pretty sure now that the last mont time and last modify time are
what I see changing. Hence this is no longer an ext3 issue that I could
discuss on an extfs list. On the contrary, if there is an fs that does
not change on boot, I'd use it. Maybe your beloved xfs, thib?
Actually, I've never even tried xfs, I was just beeing rational (but I guess
it has the potential to hook me up if I take the time to study it, some
other day). That beeing said, I can't help much there, but I would suspect
it also has a last-mounted field to make mount(8) happy, so it's not a real
solution. Even if it was, it'd merely be a workaround, IMHO (same thought:
I think that the problem logically lies at the file-level, not really the
block-level).
I'll let the discussion on the actual solutions go on on the other branch.
