Why is NTFS drives mounted with root as the owner of all the files?
When I connect a drive with my Files I want them to be owned by me, not
root?

@Martin: probably because you tell the system to mount it like that. I
suppose it's defined in a system-wide /etc/fstab and without any
specific option it will mount at boot-time as owner root (can't guess
you will want to use it as user foo). In all cases, that's a separate
issue.

I also confirm this bug.
After changing the ntfs partitions in /etc/fstab from umask=007 to umask=000
and adding the line: usershare owner only = false to the global section in
/etc/samba/smb.conf my problem was solved.
But a normal user won't understand this at all, and we want to create a
The default setting is there for security reasons. Usershare is, by default,
limited to sharing a directory that you own.
I agree that nautilus-share could be a little more user-friendly and detect
this special case, but it's not a bug.
** Package changed: gnome-vfs (Ubuntu) = nautilus-share
As Carasof's reply details, that message is now displayed in the Sharing
Options dialog, and following it's instructions allows you to share the
folder successfully.
However, this is not a very user-friendly way of allowing NTFS drive
sharing, would shipping the default smb.conf with usershare
'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot share path
/media/500/Downloads as we are restricted to only sharing directories we own.
Ask the administrator to add the line usershare owner only = False
to the [global] section of the smb.conf to allow this.

this bug report is confusing several issues into one, and the initial
poster mixed up uid and umask in a confusing way.
to summarise:
1)have uid of your user means you can share the folder without having to edit
/etc/samba/smb.conf (or you could just share it running nautilus in root ie
gksu
I can also confirm this. It is not possible to share NTFS folders on
samba. If I use gksu nautilus, it is possible to share it and show up
on the network, but the folder cannot actually be opened.

I can also confirm this bug. Sharing NTFS simply does not work out-of-
the-box on Hardy due to the permissions errors.
Using gksudo nautilus worked for me, as well as adding uid=1000 to
the options column in /etc/fstab. However these really are just work
arounds, and neither method is ideal.
I went through the upgrade to hardy process a little over a week ago
and I run into a serious problem which is very much related to this.
I basically have two 500GB USB harddrives formatted as NTFS connect to

I marked your bug as a duplicate because the root issue seemed the same.
If this was in error I apologize.
I certainly agree that there needs to be a warning on upgrade that
shares may be lost. It may be too late to fix the actual regression
before Hardy's release, but there really should be a

Hello,
I can confirm this. Right-Clicking on a Folder on a NTFS-Drive opens the
Folder Sharing Settings. Clicking Create Share gives the information,
that Nautilus needs to add some permissions to my folder in ordner to
share it. Clicking Add the permissions automatically does not work.
