Files cloned to backup system have wrong mtime value
Issue
- Files on our BCV setup are not showing latest time/date (data appears to be good) after mounting cloned devices on BCV server.
- The clone takes place correctly as expected but when the clone copies are imported and mounted we still see old time/date values on the mounted filesystem.
- What is most concerning is that
mtime
is different between production and bcv clone / backup system, but the data seems to be ok.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5 (with the High Availability and Resilient Storage Add Ons)
- A Global Filesystem 2(
GFS2
) - EMC block storage, including
powerpath
, with cloning using EMC 'symclone' - The clone uses the EMC utility called
symclone
with the command:/opt/emc/SYMCLI/bin/symclone -g tcauprd1_e3txprd1 est -consistent -tgt -noprompt
.
