hi there,

can somebody confirm this issue? is it already known?

otaku% ll|grep HELL
drwxr-xr-x  1 arundel  arundel     16384 19 Aug 19:57 HELLO
-rw-r--r--  1 arundel  arundel         0 19 Aug 20:13 HELLO2
otaku% touch HELLO*
otaku% ll|grep HELL
drwxr-xr-x  1 arundel  arundel     16384 19 Aug 19:57 HELLO
-rw-r--r--  1 arundel  arundel         0 19 Aug 20:55 HELLO2

doing the same on a UFS2 partition works as expected.


cheers.
alex
