That is problematic. How do I figure out what the filesystem thinks is
the current time? I could touch some file and read its mtime, but I
want a shortcut.
That basically is as short as it gets, except perhaps statting a freshly
modified file (not necessarily by oneself).
Are there any guarantees of any kind? e.g. is the filesystem current
time at least never ahead of the system time?
Practically no guarantees, just that it is rather likely for the time at
the fileserver to progress at about the same pace as yours.
