Strangely, I only get a 000000000 "suffix" for any
time stamp, no matter if I create the file or apply
the command as shown above to an existing file:

	% stat -f "%N %FB" /COPYRIGHT 
	/COPYRIGHT 1313951230.000000000

Am I missing some file system feature?

Otherwise, this _exactly_ looks like what I'm searching
for. It doesn't need to be a "human-readable" date
representation.

by the way, I'm running FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE/x86 of
late August 2011 here, file system used is UFS2.
