ls / for a FAT partition leads to
error: invalid modification timestamp for /.
Not all entries of the directory are displayed.
Linux never updates the modification timestamp of the /. directory entry.
The FAT specification allows the access and creation date fields to be
zero.
We should follow Linux and render initial FAT timestamps as start of
the epoch.
