The stat
program is showing local-time for each of the access, modify and change-dates. The odd one is probably in the daylight savings time, shifting it by an hour (though November 12 seems late for this, I see the pattern in results from stat
on my Debian 7 machine).
For example, my timezone is normally EST5EDT
, and I see this:
$ stat vbx-minix3.2-gcc-normal-run.log File: `vbx-minix3.2-gcc-normal-run.log' Size: 164806 Blocks: 328 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: fe01h/65025d Inode: 550759 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 1001/ tom) Gid: ( 100/ users) Access: 2015-12-18 21:30:09.081845121 -0500 Modify: 2014-07-25 17:16:10.000000000 -0400 Change: 2015-09-18 19:08:03.501222363 -0400 Birth: -
By overriding the timezone, I can see the dates all with the same offset:
$ TZ=EST5 stat vbx-minix3.2-gcc-normal-run.log File: `vbx-minix3.2-gcc-normal-run.log' Size: 164806 Blocks: 328 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: fe01h/65025d Inode: 550759 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 1001/ tom) Gid: ( 100/ users) Access: 2015-12-18 21:30:09.081845121 -0500 Modify: 2014-07-25 16:16:10.000000000 -0500 Change: 2015-09-18 18:08:03.501222363 -0500 Birth: -
You can probably choose an equivalent TZ
which omits the daylight savings time option.
What one sees depends on what their timezone is set to. The offset shown depends solely on (a) the time of the year when the change occurred and (b) the local machine configuration used to display the time.
