Hello,
I notices something, I do not like about kamikaze vi editor. As I very often use vi just to view the scripts ie. to learn how that system work, I do something like that: vi /etc/firewall.user
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1037 Sep 29 2007 firewall.user
then view file, and exit vi with q (or q!) command. AFAIK this is the escape command for vi that doesn't change the file. But what I noticed, the date of the file is affected. As this date change remains persistent after reboot, I assume that using vi on an file causes it every time to make extra flash write, that is probably not what I'm happy about.
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1037 Jan 1 06:37 firewall.user
Do you think it is a bug or at least not desirable behavior?
