[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

I think this test might often be skipped due to lack of filesystem
support? Let's try a bit harder to run it.

And let's test past timestamps too.

Thanks!

Log:
## tests: du/bigtime: Try harder to find a suitable filesystem
At least on Linux, the "usual" filesystem (ext4) doesn't support
such large timestamp, while tmpfs does. Try a bit harder to look
for a filesystem with large timestamp support.
## tests: du/bigtime: Try both big and small timestamps
Try both future and past timestamps, for completeness.
