relating：https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/issues/166 https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/591384/copying-or-restoring-crtime-for-files-directories-on-ext4fs-filesystem#

In Windows, We use https://github.com/matt-wu/Ext3Fsd mount ext4 partition. Then the ext partition is mounted on the windows system just like the local partition and accesses normally as with NTFS,

At this time, we can use some software under windows, such as: rsync, SyncToy, UrBackup and other software that can retain the file creation time in windows, we synchronize the ntfs file to EXT4, Compare their creation time, and then mount it to the deeping Linux system in ext4, compare their creation time, which has been kept synchronized.

？？ Windows can keep the creation time with github matt-wu/Ext3Fsd, but Linux can't?

On Windows i never encountered a problem with robocopy to sync the timestamps. First time i try this on linux with rsync and it does not work. Google search brings up tons of issues with this as well. Is there no interest to finally implement this?
