When I use stat, there is no creation date on ntfs filesystem files which have creation dates:

$ stat file.txt 
...
 Birth: -

So the issue here is that there is no Linux kernel interface at present to get that info.
Notes on xstat here: http://lwn.net/Articles/397442/
On cygwin the info is passed and displayed.

cheers,
Pádraig.

Given the above, and with no further comments in 5 years,
I'm closing this as "not a bug".

reopen 14703

Hi, 

 - support for statx() syscall was added to Linux kernel 4.11 (in 2017),
   says statx(2) man page at http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/statx.2.html
   and it also says that

 - support for statx() was added to glibc 2.28 (released Aug 2018)

please consider fixing stat(1) on GNU/Linux platform.

Regards,
Zoran
