Wei-Chiu Chuang commented on HADOOP-12583:
------------------------------------------

I don't have a Solaris machine, but from the log it appears that on Solaris, if you set timestamp of a file through its symbolic link, the timestamp of the symbolic link is also updated?

> I'm not sure what the root cause is, most likely Linux-specific assumptions about how symlinks behave. Further investigation needed.
