SubjectRe: [PATCH RFC] vfs: add a O_NOMTIME flag
Hi!

Actually yes, I'd like to complain.

It was not swap, it was mount -o loop, but I guess that's the same
case. Then rsync refused to work on that file... and being on slow ARM
system it took me a while to figure out WTF is going on.

So yes, we have problems with mtime, and yes, they matter.
