Is there a way to access and/or to modify the
creation time of a fime on Linux/AIX JFS2 ?
Only through the jfs_debugfs utility. The timestamp is set when the
file is created, but never modified after that.
Herbert Poetzl just submitted a patch which implements ioctls for jfs.
that sounds good. Can you tell which kernel version this will be
in or give any pointers to it?
It would be possible to add commands to fetch and set the creation time.
I'm guessing this is something that samba might use.
Yes, that's why I'm asking for. It would be nice to have a generic
birth time stamp as it exists on some BSD systems but I think there
are no such efforts on Linux. So to use it with JFS there is a
filesystem specific hook needed.
