Description
It would be nice if Haiku could support file creation times on FAT partitions. As explained by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_of_the_FAT_file_system#Directory_entry, the words at offsets 0x0E and 0x10 of a directory entry are used to store the creation time and date since MS-DOS 7.0 (Windows 9x), which also introduced long file names. As Haiku already supports long file names on FAT partitions (and file creation times on other file systems) and Windows makes use of file creation times on them, I don't see why Haiku shouldn't support this too.

Thanks for your patch! I've applied it in hrev49339 -- I reworked the confusing use of ctime, though, as that does have a different meaning in POSIX.
