"At the moment, it seems that mount.ntfs-3g disables -o permissions if -o uid=UUU and/or uid=GGG are also specified." Yes, that should be expected. You cannot both define the owner of a file both as the current user and a forced user. See http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-advanced/ownership-and-permissions/#options "This (combined with Ubuntu's compilation options disallowing user mounts for NTFS-3g) prevents unprivileged users from easily accessing NTFS systems while preserving standard Unix permissions." This is unrelated. For preserving standard permissions, do not force owner and group which would be a non-standard way of setting permissions. "With "mount -o permissions", permissions ARE preserved, but all files are owned by root:" No, should not be. You are probably displaying files not created with option "-o permissions" or files created by root, or files created by Windows. Using "-o permissions" without forcing uid and gid, and not running as root, please post the output of : id touch newfile stat newfile "root# touch /vol/exthd/x root# ls -al /vol/exthd/x -rw--w--w- 1 root root 0 Dec 8 00:29 /vol/exthd/x" The file x is created by root, it should obviously be owned by root.
