:Ah now I see, it always reports to ctime of the inode. I suppose we don'=
:t=20
:keep track of mtimes then?

mtime and atime are updated in-place, without rolling a new inode
record, so a snapshot will not snapshot either field unless some
other action (e.g. like a file append, chmod, chown, etc) rolls a
new inode record after the snapshot was made.
Because of this the snapshot stat code always reports the ctime in
the atime and mtime fields to guarantee consistency.
It is possible to change this behavior, but probably not desirable
since it could very well result in a large number of inode records
getting rolled for no good reason (particularly for atime updates).
