hjfs/linuxemu: Failed to set modification time -- utime (5 I/O error)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Subj. happens while I do `{apt-get update} in linuxemu (mroot installed by 
pkg/install).

please provide more info. at least provide exact error messages and ideally try 
to find a simple command (e.g. something with syscall(1)) that produces the 
same error.
relevant trace output may also be a good idea.

I've never got this error outside of linuxemu. How do I test it?

in some cases, linuxemu will try to convert plan9 error strings to linux error 
numbers.

see: http://9hal.ath.cx/usr/cinap_lenrek/linuxemu3/error.c

when theres no match, it ususly will return EIO. you can simply run linuxemu 
with
syscall tracing and then check what error string it cannot translate and what
plan9 syscall returns it. then the fix would be just simply adding the 
particular
string to linuxemu error string table.

that said. i dont think this is a bug with hjfs. the filesystem is allowed
to return whatever it wants in the error string. the strings arent really
ment to be evaluated by programs. linuxemu (and cifsd) are rare exceptions.

Well, I did some ratrace of `{linux -r /sys/lib/linux /bin/touch foo}:

And found this:

What is the "illegal operation" it tries to do?

No, but now there's linuxemu trace attached.
Also, looks like `dirwstat(s, ndir) < 0` in rootdev.c:965

this is likely the bug we fixed in ree317b76d2fb, please
update, recompile hjfs and the kernel and retry.
