Hi, is there a plan oder the knowledge to support this feature?
I would like to use gocryptfs.
Maybe You accept a bounty for this feature - I would be very nice to look for this issue!
If you need help testing the fix I can do this!
Thx

Hi, after a Year I wonder that no one is interested in using gocryptfs on a Mac?
Is there a plan to fix this problem?
CreationDate is something fundamental, because sorting e.g. in Photos an iTunes needs this date.
I hope this will be fixed!

Looks like it is a bug with MacFuse: osxfuse/osxfuse#623

I am not so sure if this is a problem of MacFuse because when I use encfs (that uses macfuse) I do not have this problem with creationdate.

Found that his problem appeared here first: #229. Most probably issue is in the go-fuse: hanwen/go-fuse#218, that needs to support FUSE_GETXTIMES = 62 opcode.

Maybe a new Information?
I´ve tried securefs and there the creation Date works - seems that the problem is not in fuse?
