<samba:parameter name="fake directory create times"
context="S"
type="boolean"
xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc">
<description>
<para>NTFS and Windows VFAT file systems keep a create
time for all files and directories. This is not the same as the
ctime - status change time - that Unix keeps, so Samba by default
reports the earliest of the various times Unix does keep. Setting
this parameter for a share causes Samba to always report midnight
1-1-1980 as the create time for directories.</para>
<para>This option is mainly used as a compatibility option for
Visual C++ when used against Samba shares. Visual C++ generated
makefiles have the object directory as a dependency for each object
file, and a make rule to create the directory. Also, when NMAKE
compares timestamps it uses the creation time when examining a
directory. Thus the object directory will be created if it does not
exist, but once it does exist it will always have an earlier
timestamp than the object files it contains.</para>
<para>However, Unix time semantics mean that the create time
reported by Samba will be updated whenever a file is created or
or deleted in the directory. NMAKE finds all object files in
the object directory. The timestamp of the last one built is then
compared to the timestamp of the object directory. If the
directory's timestamp if newer, then all object files
will be rebuilt. Enabling this option
ensures directories always predate their contents and an NMAKE build
will proceed as expected.</para>
