Here's something that can be get the newest and oldest files - further
tweaking should be able to craft it into a single command:
## Newest:
find $mount_point -type f -exec ls -lta {} \+ | head -n 1
## Oldest:
find $mount_point -type f -exec ls -lta {} \+ | tail -n 1
Bonus points to anyone who can explain why the `head` results include
the one file plus this:
> find: ‘ls’ terminated by signal 13
