I think is FS dependent.  My /boot is formatted to ext2 and returns nothing.

My /home is formatted to ext3 and returns this:
     root at dglaptop:~# /sbin/dumpe2fs /dev/hda5 | grep created
     dumpe2fs 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008)
     Filesystem created:       Sun Oct 21 17:14:52 2007

Hmm... Sunday at 5:15PM....is it sad that my "fun Sunday afternoon activity"
is reformatting and re-installing Linux on my laptop?!?
