Ah...

I've been thinking "ctime" is/was (still) "create time". It seems that somewhere in the last couple decades it became "change time"; Or that I picked up that incorrect "create time" idea back in the UNIX Sys V R 3 days and just never had cause to think about it again...

Never mind. /sigh...

What a maroon. 8-)

So I was reading the wiki on the internal layout. The INODE description
says "st_ctime. Also updated when xattrs change."

Why isn't changing the xattrs a modification (st_mtime) event?
