Any widely used disk format still uses 32-bit epoch? Somehow I thought of FAT.. but UNIX epoch does not make so much sense...

- lifthrasiir 4y agoUp to ext3 are using 32-bit timestamps. Ext4 now uses 34-bit, by extending only the upper range, and can cope with 7 * 2^32 seconds after the epoch, which is around 2446. HFS+ uses a different 32-bit timestamp, which is unsigned and starts from 1904-01-01, so it expires on 2040.
