-------------------------------------------
Thanks Konstnatin,
I was not known about previos discussion and thought, that was a missing
behaviour.
Also i did not find any test for not supporting on directories. :-(.
And other point already mentioned by Nicholas.

It is quite confusing whether atime and mtime are supported for directories.
Let file a JIRA to fix it.

You mean to move the fields(atime and mtime) to INodeFile if it supports only
for files?
Thanks
Uma
