config-3.6.0-rc1

With linux-3.6-rc1 I can't create new files on NTFS (NTFS-3G,Fuse).
Creating directories and modifying existing files works.

Even the same as user root.

After trying to create a file with touch i get no errormessages in dmesg but in
/var/log/messages :
Aug  7 03:17:16 jlgentoo ntfs-3g[3221]: Invalid arguments.


With linux-3.5 it works fine.

Have reported this too on https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45661

We don't seem to have that version in the tree yet.

tested vanilla-sources-3.5.1 and there is all ok 
but problem still exists with latest git-sources snapshot.
Tested on two Gentoo linux computers.

Bugs for development, unreleased kernels should go upstream at http://bugzilla.kernel.org

[Comment 4 jospezial 2012-08-27 14:40:17 UTC]

Fixed with linux-3.6.0-rc3.

I looked for the fixing commit but didn't find the right one in kernel git.
