Hi,

I've stumbled across a 2.6.22->2.6.23 regression. First md5sum access

Looking at the 22->23 diff, I don't see a quick and dirty stab
candidate, and since I'm preparing for a 5 week separation from my box
<twitch>, I doubt I'll have time to do a bisect. /me punts.

Could you post the complete dmesg output, please?

Nothing related has changed in the NTFS driver between 2.6.22.10 and 2.6.23 so I expect something else to be at fault here.

Could you post your .config as well, please?

Best regards,

Anton
