ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
OS: Ubuntu 22.04
JDK 17: openjdk version "17.0.11"
JDK 8: openjdk version "1.8.0_412"

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I set the time attributes of a file to the same EPOCH values. When I read these attributes, the creation time and last modified time is not the same.

I would except that these attributes are the same, even if creationTime is not supported on the specific OS.

The behavior is different with Java 8 and Java 17. Java 8 works as expected.


REGRESSION : Last worked in version 8

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
If I set a files time attributes to the same value and then read these attributes, I expect them to be the same.
ACTUAL -
Creation time differs from last modified time, but only with Java 17. Works as expected with Java 8.
