April 6, 20206 yr Hiya, TL;DR - how can i copy files around from a connected Linux desktop GUI and retain the 'date created' stamp on the files i copy? I'm not sure the best settings for accessing unRAID via SMB from a Linux desktop. Whether using 'fstab' or 'autofs' to mount the share, i'm not sure what settings i should use. I ask because when i use rsync -a from the command run from unRAID that has mounted a remote share on another machine, it retains the time/date of the files/folders creation AND modify dates. But if i copy via my desktop - even from unRAID to another share in unRAID - it stamps right now as the create date (but keeps the modify date). Is that something to do with my configuration or that just how things work? If it is something to do with how i connect, here's my cobbled together autofs configuration, e.g.: Media -fstype=cifs,rw,username=derek,password=supersecretpassword,uid=1000,gid=985 ://IP.ADDRESS/Media The UID/GID is based on my desktop user's UID/GID. I've also changed the uid/gid to uid=derek,gid=users (incidentally, what's better? it didn't seem to make any difference). Thanks Edited April 6, 20206 yr by Derek_
