Running a CentOS 5.3 Linux Host machine (EXT3). VirtualBox 3.1 is hosting a Guest Windows XP VM (NTFS). I have a shared folder on the Linux machine that the Windows XP can successfully transfer files with.
Problem When I transfer files from the Guest Windows XP VM to the Linux Host, the file date/time stamps are not preserved. Instead, linux creates new date/time stamps that reflect the time of transfer. In a pure linux file copy, the cp -p command would ensure that the file date/time stamps are preserved. However, in this case, Virtualbox is running the linux commands automatically, so I'm not sure how to preserve the date/time stamps.
Any ideas?
