It appears that DeviceKit-disks, which is called by Nautilus to do the mounting, mounts NTFS (FUSE?) partitions with the 'default_permssions' option, limiting the permissions to the mounting user (and root). This breaks Samba sharing because of a lack of permissions on the (Windows) client.
I'm reporting this issue upstream, thank you for your feedback! ** Summary changed: - Nautilus Mounted NTFS partitions cannot be shared by Samba + DeviceKit mounts NTFS partitions with 'default_permissions', breaking Samba sharing ** Description changed: Binary package hint: util-linux - Hi. - I am using Ubuntu 9.10(amd64). - After I mount a NTFS formatted disk using Nautilus, I share some directories with the Nautilus's sharing option. - For example, /media/ExNtfsDrive/music_mp3 ---> I set this folder to be shared for everyone. No special security options. + When mounting an NTFS (FUSE) device from Nautilus it is mounted with the + 'default_permissions' option. This limits access to the mounting user + and breaks Samba sharing. - The shared directories can be seen in other machines(Windows machines, - Virtual Box Machines, or Ubuntu Machines), however they cannot be - accessed. - - On the other hand, when those NTFS paritions are mounted manually, they are shared perfectly. - (sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ExNtfsDrive) - - Is the a bug or some configuration needed? + Documentation of the 'default_permissions' option, and others: + <http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/filesystems/fuse.txt>. ** Package changed: nautilus (Ubuntu) => devicekit-disks (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: devicekit-disks (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged -- DeviceKit mounts NTFS partitions with 'default_permissions', breaking Samba sharing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/482641 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
