Fri 17 Jan 2020 02:36:16 PM UTC, original submission:   I tried to check which files are newest on a FAT ESP, but the "test file1 -nt file2" command always returns false regardless of file ordering.  I was able to use this successfully on other file systems (e.g. HFS). Could it maybe fall back to testing file creation time if modification time is unavailable?  That is enough for my case since the files aren't modified after creation.	David Michael <dm0>
