Really? I figured that wouldn't be difficult to fix in the kernel, so I looked  
at the source (linux-2.6.11-rc2/fs/jfs/namei.c). 

The parent mtime _is_ updated (dip->i_ctime = dip->i_mtime = CURRENT_TIME;) in  
jfs_create(), jfs_mkdir(), jfs_rmdir(), jfs_unlink(), jfs_rename() + mtime is  
changed in old_dir and new_dir for rename...

So what's the story here? Willem Riede.
