Hello list, man utimes says: "The access time is set to the value of the first element, and the modification time is set to the value of the second element. For file systems that support file birth (creation) times (such as UFS2), the birth time will be set to the value of the second element if the second element is older than the currently set birth time." On FreeBSD (11.0), I can't set birthtime / crtime on ZFS although files appear to have it. Is it supposed to work? If not, is there a WONTFIX on this one for some particular reason? On Solaris, crtimes can be set via system xattr calls. Please, cc me as I'm not subscribed to the list. Regards, Heikki Lindholm
