When I create a new rails application on my NTFS partition I receive a bunch of errors. Though, with the same configuration I do not get any error when I create the project in my home directory which sits on a ext4 formatted partition.
Here is what I get.
$ rails new project
create
create README
create Rakefile
[...]
create public/index.html
create public/robots.txt
create script
create script/rails

I installed rails 3.1.3 via rvm.
$ rvm list
