am-utils-6.2 - fix Linux NFS recognition of umounts
From: Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net>
Recent Linux NFS uses a simulated attibute cache change detection
method based on ctime. Consequenty the amd use of mtime for this
doesn't work properly for some kernel versions.
The problem seen with some kernel versions is a failure to recognize
umounts.
Updating the parent ctime in step with mtime during umount appears
to fix the problem.
