                    bootable Live USB

SUMMARY
When users create and use a bootable Live USB (KDE neon) the creation time
(crtime/btime) for local folders and files is not displayed in Dolphin. Same
problem also when creating a local file and folder in Dolphin.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a bootable Live USB for KDE neon with Etcher 1.5.113. Use for example
the Etcher AppImage version.

https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/releases/tag/v1.5.113

2. Then restart the computer and boot the Live USB.

3. Open Dolphin, activate Details view and add "Created" to the column.

4. View a file and folder via column and info. You can also create a .txt file
or folder.

5. The creation time (crtime/btime) is not shown, neither in the column nor
under info for files and folders. It does not show the timestamp and is empty.



OBSERVED RESULT
A bootable Live USB for KDE neon does not support the display in Dolphin of
creation time (crtime/btime) for local folders and files. Support for bootable
Live USB is missing.

EXPECTED RESULT
I expect KDE neon to boot from a bootable live USB also showing creation time
in Dolphin.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 5.20
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.77.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This problem only exists when KDE neon is used on a bootable Live USB.

If KDE neon is installed on a hard disk then this problem does not exist.


The problem is most likely that the KDE neon developers do not use a filesystem
that supports creation time (crtime/btime) by default for bootable Live USB. An
up-to-date file system should be used for bootable Live USB. Maybe it is also a
bug.
