[New-bugs-announce] [issue10776] os.utime returns an error on NTFS-3G partition

[Aaron Masover]

New submission from Aaron Masover <amasover at gmail.com>:

I'm working with Anki (http://ankisrs.net/) on a linux NTFS-3G partition. Anki requires access to modification times in order to handle its backup files. This works fine on my ext3 partition, but on an NTFS partition accessed with NTFS-3G an error is returned:

youlun at yinghuochong:/storage/文件/anki/decks$ python -c 'import shutil,os; shutil.copyfile(u"\u6f22\u5b57.anki", "new.anki"); os.utime("new.anki", None)'
youlun at yinghuochong:/storage/文件/anki/decks$ python -c 'import shutil,os; shutil.copyfile(u"\u6f22\u5b57.anki", "new.anki"); os.utime("new.anki", (1293402264,1293402264))'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: 'new.anki'

Note that passing numbers into os.utime returns an error.
