Created attachment 125567 [details] Proposed patch
The ramfs code to create most file types was missing the directory m/ctime update as described in the bug description field. It turns out that the support to create symbolic links was also not updating the directory m/ctime. Fixed both.
committed in stream U4 build 34.17. A test kernel with this patch is available from http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/rhel4/
