Hi,

I need to know for a given file if the underlying file system stores its
timestamps in UTC in local-time.

MS says that FAT uses local-time and NTFS uses UTC. Is it safe to assume
that if GetVolumeInformation() does not returns 'NTFS' in
lpFileSystemNameBuffer, the file system stores local times (as FAT,
CDFS, etc.), or is there any other filesystems supported by Windows
storing UTC filetimes ?

Unfortunately, there is no list of possible values of
lpFileSystemNameBuffer on MSDN.

Best regards,

A.R.
