[Unison-hackers] Unison times option problem

[Falk Kuehnel]

Hi there!

I am using Unison 2.13.16 and want to synch to a vfat
mounted drive on a linux box.

When doing a normal synch, everything is fine, but the filedates
change, and i would like to have them the same as on the windows machine.

I tried using the times parameter, which is supposed to do what i
want, but i get the following error message:
Failed: Failed to set modification time of file
/home/user/.#foldername.ea00141dc68faaba496fb6ca86c56265.unison.tmp/Prämienbanne\
r/Praemien-Banner-1-0.gif
to 1970-01-01 at 0:00:00: the time was set to 2006-11-22 at 0:02:28
instead

The error message doesnt enlighten me. I dont 
know where to look for a solution.

What am i doing wrong?
Has it to do with the mount options of the vfat? 
I cant imagine it, because it happens on the ext3 
partition aswell. Samba is working fine and times 
on those files are like on the windows files.
It is mounted like this:
/dev/sdb1 on /media/sdb1 type vfat
(rw,nodiratime,uid=503,gid=100,fmask=0002,dmask=0002,codepage=cp850,iocharset=is\
o8859-1,shortname=mixed)

Any hints are very welcome.

Thanks
Falk
