Mod & Creation Dates



I have a large quantity of files which have:
first been duplicated (which should preserve mod and creation dates);
then the duplicates have had their modification dates changed.
I was looking at a folder of these files, with both the mod date and creation date columns visible, when I noticed that mod date = creation date for every file. This should not be, since I have NOT changed the creation date.


It is true, however, that I have changed to mod date so that it is earlier than the creation date. I can't find any documentation on this, but perhaps creation date < mod date is enforced by the file system.

Does anyone know of any documentation on this? Or, perhaps it's a bug?
