Szaka, The latest version of ntfs-3g is supposed to make "full file permission checking", but I have not found any description of what this is supposed to mean. There is not obvious answer as the file permission logic is not the same for Windows and Linux. I suggest you give some information about it in the ntfs-3g FAQ.
Anyway, I do not get any ability to set the owner's write flag on individual files (which is what I am really interested in, and having this honoured by Windows and conversely). Did I miss something ?

This must be intentional, but I suggest it is made optional as this is confusing for Windows applications.
