The following reply was made to PR docs/100494; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Ceri Davies <ceri@submonkey.net> To: FreeBSD Gnats Submit <freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org> Cc: Subject: Re: docs/100494 Date: Sat, 7 Oct 2006 22:47:21 +0100 Your new statements are incorrect; birthtime refers to when the inode was allocated, not when the file was created. The implications of using any term other than the self-descriptive "birth time" really are unclear (for instance, when is a file restored from backup created?) and so we're really better off just using the term "birth time".
