I think the idea that this is not a bug is totally wrong. This bug OP does not want Linux to work differently than the UNIX spec. He wants Linux to work according to the NTFS spec when writing to an NTFS file system. NTFS tracks a creation date and a modified date. We all understand that ext3 doesn't work this way. However NTFS does and since the problem is with NTFS it IS a bug.

The "wishlist" priority on this issue is not appropriate. It should be "critical".

As a photographer I can tell you this makes Ubuntu nearly worthless to me. I had to spend all last night in Windows just to get some work out. I am absolutely stunned at this regression from 7.10.

The only question that I am unclear on (because I see this in Hardy 8.04) is what is the source of the bug -- dvfs? ntfs-3g? nautilus?
