As pointed by Andreas when this discussion took place, Unix file

The Fxattr manual says that when the file system doesn't support the
creation date the last modification date will be given, we should
figure out why Fxattr is giving those wrong dates and from where they
are taken.

The last time I looked at this, Fxattr returned two timestamps on files that hadn't been touched for ages, and identical timestamps on files that were recently created or written to. On the older files, "last modification time" was always less than "creation time", which is obviously wrong.
