ntfs-3g does not return a birth date and time, even though the MFT does store this information:

  File: example
  Size: 4096      	Blocks: 8          IO Block: 4096   directory

 Birth: -

ntfs-3g already writes a birth date/time, but it doesn't show it.

ntfs3 by Paragon does show a birth date/time, but it has other problems like lack of mount options and lack of large cluster support (128K, 256K, 512K, 1M, 2M).

Please support the birth date and time. Thank you.
