in reply to Re-Creating a file does not change inode modification time (Windows)
Some filesystems do not modify the “modification time” because it is expensive to do so. Especially on some network filesystems, this creates a large number of disk writes to the directory blocks with no pragmatic purpose or benefit. Therefore, these timestamps should not be regarded as a reliable indicator of modification, regardless of the operating-system.
