Check the list archives. There have been problems identified in the past with JFS, though I don't recall specifics.
Sorry I can't be more specific, but JFS does ring an alarm bell.
That was specific enough for a few hits in the archives, but, it appears to be a non-problem these days. I'll check my kernel sources this weekend to see if I have the patches, but I suspect I should.
On this file system, when I touch a file in the directory, the directory time is updated. When I move a file into the directory, the time is updated. Anyone know how procmail does it? I guess I'll have to write some code and play around...
The problem is that hardlinking a file to another directory didn't update the directory's mtime. You most likely don't have that bug fixed in your kernel.
