Re: [Yaffs] Time stamps in file header chunks

Like most flash file systems, yaffs does not update atime
automatically because this causes extra writes (a bad thing on flash).
You can force atime changes through setattr.

Also, "cat" does not lead to a new header chunk being written to nand... Does YAFFS2 actually only store mtime, ctime and this birth time?
