From: Ceri Davies To: FreeBSD Gnats Submit 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".
