Hi all,
for some time, Emacs has been nagging me with the "File %s changed on
disk. Reread from disk? " prompt from `find-file-noselect'. This seems
to happen for files in directories shared with a VirtualBox VM, and
closer inspection showed that `(verify-visited-file-modtime)' seems to
always return nil in that case. When I stop the VM, the situation gets
back to normal; when I restart it again, it happens again. FTR, I'm on
a GNU/Linux system (Arch).
Has anyone else experienced this? (I'm not filing a bug report, since
it's not clear to me if Emacs is to blame for it or something else.)
