RE: change file creation date (Strange)

The "-mtime" functionality of find is known to have issues.

i.e. it's broke.

Hi all,

I have files that created yesterday
then I move those files to other directory the "date is still remain the same" (when I do "ls -l" is 7 Aug)

but those files didnt match my "find ./ -mtime 1 -print" those files listed in "find ./ -mtime 0 -print"

and then I advance the date to 9 Aug (8 Aug now) and now those files match my "find ./ -mtime 1 -print"

why the unix consider "mv" as modification ?
