Comment 0 for bug 1636890

I did a basic install of 16.04.1 server amd64 (accepting most of the defaults) but selected to have the home area of the initial user encrypted. Then log on as that user and create some files. Next enable overlayroot by adding a /etc/overlayroot.local.conf with 'overlayroot=tmpfs' and reboot.

After rebooting and logging in as the user, the previously created files are there but the timestamps are wrong. 'stat' gives the times as:

Modify: 1970-01-01 01:00:00.000000000 +01:00
Change: 1970-01-01 01:00:00.000000000 +01:00
