Changing Creation Date to a Prespecified Date of a File In Unix
Dear Expert,
Is there a command to do that in Unix? In such a way that we don't need to actually "write" or modified the content. -- monkfan |

There is no such thing as a creation date. You either mean modification date or the access date. And no, while changing either one, the inode is modified, so listing the file with 'ls -lc' will always show up.

I attended an Free and Open Source Software (FOSS.IN) event last weekend. One of the keynotes was on the progress of the ext4 filesystem project. The presenter was mentioning there is a thought on introducing the creation timestamp for the ext4 filesystem.
Who knows ? If you can wait around for sometime, you might get what you are looking for ! |

I believe ext4 is released on October 26, 2006 by Andrew Mortan as a compatible improvement to ext3. Still ext4 is backward compatible to ext3. I could not find anything related to timestamp inclusion with ext3dev. Do you have any links to the keynotes you had attended? |
