更新
原来我很笨。我在检查修改时间,当时我应该检查访问时间。不可复制的原因是测试文件是用
dd if=/dev/urandom of="$target" bs='1K' count=1 || exit 1
对于修改时间来说,大部分时间都太快了(结束于
dd
)与访问时间不同的新文件的
DD
)还有一件事要注意。
我正在编写一个脚本,将一个文件的访问时间加上两年时间应用于另一个文件。这种用途
stat -c %x
,
date --rfc-3339=ns
和
touch -a --date="$result"
.
stat
和
date
两个输出日期字符串都以纳秒为单位,如
2012-11-17 10:22:15.390351800+01:00
和
info coreutils 'touch invocation'
说它支持纳秒。但有时应用touch时,应用的时间戳和stat随后返回的时间戳之间会有细微的差异。以下是实际运行的数据:

所以100个测试中有21个失败了,平均3.938ms,中位数4.001 ms。有什么可能导致这种情况吗?
