trouble accessing directory with quotes in read-only mode

[Ori Avtalion]

Using feisty amd64.

When mounting an ntfs drive with read-only support, I cannot access/modify directories that have quotes (") in their name.

To test:
1) Mount a drive with enabled write support.
2) Create a directory called "foo" (with the quotes).
3) Unmount the drive and mount it again without write support.
4) Try accessing the dir, renaming it, ls -l'ing it to get info - nothing will work.

When mounted in read-only mode, the /etc/fstab flags are "umask=222,utf8".
When mounted with write enabled, the flags are "defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8"

Is it possible that the problem is caused due to the locale not being specified?

This seams to be a problem with the ntfs kernel driver.
Files with quotes can be access correctly with both ntfs-3g & ntfs-fuse,
but not with the ntfs kernel driver

I think this is fixed in gutsy.
When disabling write support from the ntfs-config tool, /etc/fstab uses the "ntfs" driver with "umask=222,utf8".
With that configuration, I can read files and directories with quotes in their names.

Thanks for submitting this report.

Due to the fact that the problem does not occur in a released kernel, is it ok to close this report?

Thanks.

This appears to have been resolved against Gutsy so marking "Fix Released" against 2.6.22. Against 2.6.20 this will be closed as it does not qualify for a stable release update. Thanks!
