>>   The testcase use /tmp directory to create the file and get the createtime(birth time) of this file. But on alinux3(alibaba cloud linux version 3), the /tmp is mount as tmpfs, it's not a real physic disk paitition, it's mount from RAM, and the alinux3 doesn't support get the `birth time` on tmpfs.

>>   According to the [Java API doc](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/docs/api/java.base/java/nio/file/attribute/BasicFileAttributes.html#creationTime()), If the file system implementation does not support a time stamp to indicate the time when the file was created, the creationTime() API return the epoch (1970-01-01T00:00:00Z).
