Public bug reported:
It is not possible to open files in an ntfs/fuse partition when the
O_DIRECT flag is used with the 2.6.27-2 kernel ("invalid argument" is
returned). Hardy (2.6.24) is not affected, opening files on other file
systems works ok.
To reproduce try to open a file within an ntfs partition using
open(filename, O_RDONLY|O_DIRECT)
This also affects Wubi (partman_server strace follows):
8222 read(4, "Retry\n", 4096) = 6
8222 open("/host/ubuntu/disks/swap.disk", O_RDWR|O_DIRECT|O_LARGEFILE) = -1
EINVAL (Invalid argument)
8222 open("/host/ubuntu/disks/swap.disk", O_RDONLY|O_DIRECT|O_LARGEFILE) = -1
EINVAL (Invalid argument)
8222 write(5, "Error\n", 6) = 6
