Just a reminder that ctime on Unix is not "create" time, but time of
last inode change.  I wish there were a create time on Unix, but there
ain't.

Yup, that I know. Other, less broken filesystems have real create times for files. :-P


I don't expect access time to be available for most files either, even on systems that support it, because of the pretty massive overhead it tends to incur. Still, it's there to be had in many cases, so...
