Public bug reported: I had a working ntfs partition and used it for ubuntu 9.10/10.04/10.10/11.04 and 11.10. I had a windows XP network folder with full permissions set to "system" and my user-id. I used grsync to copy that a subfolder from the network folder to my ntfs partition. unfortunately it had the preserve owner, preserve group and preserve permission ticked.
After the grsync operation my ntfs partition had the following permission settings: owner "root" with permissions to "access files" only. Group and Others had no permissions at all. It has been impossible to correct the situation manually. If grsync or other programs are allowed to mess up my permission, I need at least the possibility to manually correct it. ** Affects: ntfs-3g (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/906117 Title: NTFS partition unusable after copying network folder to it.
