I've seen that the manual says that the default security is that files and directories are created with the effective user and group of the mounting process, and have full access for everyone. I used the guid and umask options to change the security to have full access only for owner and group. I changed this because it is not acceptable that everyone has full permissions.
but I cannot understand why tar gives errors... If I have write permissions on a folder, shouldn't I be able to create and delete files on it? Why should I be the same user of who mounts the ntfs partition? I created a folder in an ext3 partition with the same permissions (755) and tar does not print errors... drwxrwx--- 1 root ntfs 4096 2007-07-08 23:52 Dati (ntfs-3g) drwxrwx--- 3 root ntfs 4096 2007-07-09 09:43 test (ext3) What am I missing? This behavior is limiting as I can use the ntfs partition as /home (and I think also /, even if I would never do it) only without restricting the default permissions Thank you -- Cannot utime: Operation not permitted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124795 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
