It looks like the behavior of `BasicFileAttributes` and `BasicFileAttributeView` is now inconsistent on Linux (Apline). I can change the time using:


BasicFileAttributeView attributes = Files.getFileAttributeView(path, BasicFileAttributeView.class);
attributes.setTimes(time, time, time);


And the 3d param is called `createTime`. But apparently it sets a different attribute than what we get using:


FileTime actual = Files.readAttributes(path, BasicFileAttributes.class).creationTime();


Tried with OpenJDK 24.
