Last time I checked (a while ago) on NT4 GetVolumeInformation fails on shares. It might work on Win2k I haven't checked. There is also the problem of what the network layer does with the timestamp. If the network layer transmits times correctly then the filesystem on the other end doesn't actually matter. A network share is supposed to be transparent so the underlying filesystem will be irrelevant - it could be NFS, IPX, anything like that and you would have no idea what was on the other side. I suspect (unless SMBFS is more buggy than I thought) that a shared FAT drive will behave correctly in the same way a shared NTFS drive would. Network filesystems usually use UTC because they're supposed to work over a WAN.
