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. Grsync should
not have touched the permission of the partition itself, but only the
permission of the folder(s) that had been copied into that partition. I
assume it took the permission of the main network folder and used that
to change the permissions of the partition too, but that is outside the
scope of the copy/sync operation.
