How do I retain timestamps with mksysb? Originally From: graeme@ccu1.aukuni.ac.nz ( Graeme Moffat)


As of AIX 3.2.5 bosrest preserves timestamps and permissions as does pax.

In AIX 3.2.2 /usr/lpp/bosinst/bosnet (for net installs), and bosrest
(tape), the 'pax' commands all have '-pmop' options. m = "DON'T
retain modification times". So, simply change all the '-pmop' to
'-pop' and remake inst/maint diskettes or mksysb tapes.
