Creation time for files in Linux
bendgamine | Apr 28 2007
Hello All, Is there a command to find the time & date of creation of a file in Linux. If i do a stat, i could get the file details. But i'm unable to get the time of creation of file. Can someone tell me if there is a command to find the time & date of creation of a file in Linux? Thanks! 2 Comments

Yes, the linux file systems are a little different and all that I know of don't track it. I've been using the file metadata anyway since its more accurate as I've found that even in OS's that do track file creation time moving files to another drive messes it up since the file gets created on that drive. So when you put a new drive in your laptop and copy all the files from the old one the creation times are all changed to the time of the copy. » POSTED IN:
