Um, guys, I'm confused. I'm pretty sure that ReiserFS (donno about ext3, long time since I used it) has the recently modified and recently accessed time stamps. Just verified it with a file (/etc/fstab to be precise) on my system. But there doesn't seem to be any file created stamp. This seems to bear out Wikipedia's statement that ReiserFS does not carry a file created stamp.
That appears to be the case. See /usr/src/linux/include/linux/reiserfs_fs.h and /usr/src/linux/include/linux/ext3_fs.h. Both define atime, mtime, and ctime, which can be obtained for any node using -printf arguments of find. While ctime is referred to as "creation time" in ext3_fs.h, it is referred to as "time inode (stat data) was last changed (except changes to sd_atime and sd_mtime)" in reiserfs_fs.h. It apparently functions as the latter on a Reiser FS. I have not checked on an ext3 filesystem.
