I’d really like to see support for ctime and atime. Currently --min-age appears to only support mtime, and in some cases ctime, might be better to use than mtime.
Hello,
I made a change to support ctime and also extraction of MD from the sources: e.g. system MD from local, potentially xattr (not done yet but easy).
@ncw What do you think ?
I’d say that not many (any) cloud remotes support ctime/atime so I’m not sold on the idea that they need to be synced. I don’t think you can write atime’s at all to local disk so they can’t be synced to the local backend.
To read them I’d make an Optional interface AccessTime
& ChangeTime
and only implement that on the local remote…
Other than syncing it what could you do with mtime and atime? You can write ctimes though.
I see the metadata thing a separate discussion probably.
Perhaps to solve this particular issue, a flag like --local-times mtime/ctime/atime
might be best so the local backend reads just the time specified as the modtime.
