My take would be that *something* has made root:root the owner of the root filesystem on the Cyclopes15 drive. The uid, gid, umask… things in the mount option are used for new files (AFAIK), not for existing ones. So **with the drive mounted** I'd do "sudo chown 1000:1004 /media/Cyclopes15" to set that right, and see if it sticks after reboot.
If this doesn't work, is it possible that ntfs-3g does something funky like remount read-only + disregard ownership when the ntfs file system is detected as being "unclean" ? I know hfs+ will do this kind of irritating thing. See if "mount" returns your options as expected for Cyclopes15. Have a look at syslog if it's not the case, there may be a warning somewhere. Otherwise, it may be the case that ubuntu hijacks your drive and does its thing instead of yours. Ubuntu's driving me crazy with magical behavior like that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74915 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
