Some OSes do update "time created" for FAT. (There was a patch for the
FreeDOS kernel in recent years, but I can't remember if it was ever
officially included.) IIRC, "ctime" wasn't normally available to DOS
itself unless DOSLFN (or similar) was loaded. I think (once loaded)
DJGPP utils would then read it correctly. I did vaguely find that
useful sometimes.

But "access time" is often shunned as wearing out the drive for little
reason, so (naively) I thought most Linux distros mounted as
"noatime".
