Hi! I've noticed something odd while processing files in a guest file system.
I can retrieve with no problems an IFsObjInfo from IGuestSession::fileQueryInfo and read most of the information with no issues, but the timestamp fields: * IFsObjInfo::accessTime * IFsObjInfo::birthTime * IFsObjInfo::modificationTime - being the one I am actually interested in. I understand correctly that they should be returned as UNIX timestamps, yes? The values for each of these values seem to be semi-random: if I read the value for the same file, the values change each time I read them. An example: accessTime: 4611687856674308103 birthTime: 61683424 modificationTime: 1099702688 None of which makes sense as UNIX timestamps. Furthermore reading the information from the same file again returns the following: accessTime: 52218215858178 birthTime: 61685760 modificationTime: 1105479024 Another observation I have made is that IFsObjInfo::modificationTime is always identical to IFsObjInfo::nodeId - reading the documentation, this doesn't really make sense to me why this would be. I tested this on VirtualBox 4.3.10 with a Windows 7 host and guest, but it also occurs in older versions as far as I can tell. I thought perhaps marshalling could be the issue, and that the values should be ulong rather than long, but I still don't see how that would cause them to vary each time the information is read.
