10.8.5, NFS and timestamp issues

Hello guys, I have just succeeded in exporting via NFS from a Linux box an ext3 filesystem to my mac 10.8.5.

I can mount the filesystem without any issue and I am able to either read and write to it.

The problem is twofold:

1) any file or folder accessed through Finder shows the same date of creation:

Created: January 1, 2001 1:00 AM

2) any file or folder queried through the GetFileInfo command shows the same date of creation:

mac-cecchi:~ tomcec$ GetFileInfo /Users/tomcec/mediavar/run/xinetd.pid

file: "/Users/tomcec/mediavar/run/xinetd.pid"

type: "\0\0\0\0"

creator: "\0\0\0\0"

attributes: avbstclinmedz

created: 01/01/1904 01:00:00

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

modified: 09/20/2013 10:53:41

Now, both dates (1904 and 2001) are wrong.

Questions:

- why are those dates wrong? and why in a different manner?

- is there a way to have both Finder and GetFileInfo showing the proper creation date over an NFS file/folder.

Thanks for any support you may give me,

Tommaso
