what's the difference between the "modification time" vs the "last changed
time" as returned by stat's %Y resp. %Z format placeholders?
Thanks,

Bye, Jojo
The data and the meta-data are different.
The file DATA is stored in data blocks, but the data ABOUT the file
are stored in a different location (the inode.) This includes name,
owner, group, permission, etc.
modification time is when the data changed.
last changed time is when the meta data changed.
