Hummm, I'm using, and I don't have an "ext3fs" directory on /usr/include
How can I verify that I'm really using EXT 3 without booting the system?

Ok, but that's not the problem. I saw the modification time. The problem
is that stat man page says that ctime is the "Change Time", not
"Creation Time", and they are diferent things! What I want to know is:
Who is right? Is this an Ext2 Only Feature? If I use "ls -c ./filename"
what I will see? The Creation, or the Change time?????

Thanks, but that's not the point like I tried to explain above.

Thanks,
