Hi,
I'm using Podman in my build environment. As part of the build I bind
a directory from the host to a directory in the container. Even though
the guest doesn't touch the file in any way, afterwards I can see that
the file's "Change" timestamp has been updated, so I am assuming it is
podman that does this.
According to
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/2464/timestamp-modification-time...
the "Change" timestamp is described as "the last time meta data of the
file was changed (e.g. permissions)".
I am wondering what meta data it is that podman changes, and if it can
be avoided somehow ? (Mainly because it tricks git/gitk into thinking
something might have changed).
Regards
Jacob

Could you mount the volume :ro inside of the container and see if the
same thing happens?
If it still happens, then we know it is Podman making the change as
opposed to the processes inside of the container.
You could also bind mount the volume readonly on itself, before using
podman to see if podman throws an error.
