Thanks! I've read the manual and then tried different umask options. Umask=222 seems the most reasonable for what I need. I noticed that the different subdirectories and files automatically inherit the allocated NTFS partition access rights. Is this how umask in fstab works (recursively)? On a hypothetical case where you want to give different access rights to all/some subdorectories & files, do you have to set these individually the first time after mounting the partition, use ACL's, or what else? Sorry if my questions appear silly - I've always been confused by this topic and its different permutations. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
