For this you need to modify/store acl's.
I've checked to ntfs support which comes with 2.2.11. It allows to
create files, copy them but dot deleting them. As a result a rename is
not working properly. It copies the file, but don't erase the oiginal
afterwards.
The first thing i need is a delete/rename operation to move a
misfunctional driver out of the scope of the NT booting systen.
Sometimes a bad driver does not allow to boot the NT system.
