From 553292a6342bc9e5636953ac6e20bccedaacbd1c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steve French Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2019 17:36:13 -0700 Subject: cifs: clarify comment about timestamp granularity for old servers It could be confusing why we set granularity to 1 seconds rather than 2 seconds (1 second is the max the VFS allows) for these mounts to very old servers ...
