"ls -al" on a cifs mounted filesystem shows file creation and not modified date

Hi All,

"ls -al" on a cifs mounted filesystem (Windows Server) shows file creation and not modified date.

I'm using AIX7.1. Is this a known bug ? Is there a fix or a config setting somewhere ?

Thanks all..

Try running
istat <cifs file system name>
