Well, I don't care the implementation detail. However, the combination
might not be only three. E.g. if fs was exported as network fs's
backend, so many combinations are possible. So, specified known
combination can be fragile.

(e.g. ATTR_MTIME | ATTR_SIZE, etc, etc.)

Thanks. Sounds good. I'm not using ntfs-3g actually, I just bridged the
bug report on lkml to others. Eric?

Thanks.
