My guess would be some exotic permissions have been copied over from the NTFS partition. I'll assume you've used ls -l to check them, but now try "ls -Z" and you'll see stuff like "user_u:object_r:user_home_t" on some entries. If that is the problem you can try googling on "security context" or "acl" to see how to remove them. Or find a way to copy them that doesn't bring along that extra baggage. E.g. man cp tells me "cp -p" (and therefore "cp -a") copy over permissions but do not copy over security context by default. Perhaps copying with the GUI does copy them over? Darren P.S. Is your NTFS partition mounted read-only? If read-write how is the reliability? Linux's NTFS read/write support used to be suspect, and I wondered if it was stable now? -- Darren Cook http://dcook.org/mlsn/ (English-Japanese-German-Chinese free dictionary) http://dcook.org/work/ (About me and my work) http://dcook.org/work/charts/ (My flash charting demos) _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
