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 ?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] doc]$ /bin/ls -l /shared/doc/myfile
-rwxr-xr-x 1 linux linux 1 Feb 15 11:06 /shared/doc/myfile
[EMAIL PROTECTED] doc]$ /bin/chmod -w /shared/doc/myfile
[EMAIL PROTECTED] doc]$ /bin/ls -l /shared/doc/myfile
-rwxr-xr-x 1 linux linux 1 Feb 15 11:06 /shared/doc/myfile
[EMAIL PROTECTED] doc]$ /bin/chmod 555 /shared/doc/myfile
[EMAIL PROTECTED] doc]$ /bin/ls -l /shared/doc/myfile
-rwxr-xr-x 1 linux linux 1 Feb 15 11:06 /shared/doc/myfile

The fstab entry is as follows :

/dev/sda8 /shared ntfs-3g rw,auto,users,exec,uid=500,gid=500,fmask=0022 0 0

I have also found that file names are case-sensitive for ntfs-3g
though not in Windows. This must be intentional, but I suggest it
is made optional as this is confusing for Windows applications.

I am using version ntfs-3g-0.20070207-RC1 and fuse-2.6.3
on a FC6 64-bit kernel :

[EMAIL PROTECTED] doc]$ uname -a
Linux dimension 2.6.19-1.2911.fc6 #1 SMP Sat Feb 10 15:16:31 EST 2007 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

In /var/log/messages (after a mount) :

Version 0.20070207-RC1
Mounted /dev/sda8 (Read-Write, label "shared", NTFS 3.1)
Options: 
noatime,rw,nosuid,nodev,users,silent,allow_other,default_permissions,fsname=/dev/sda8,blkdev,blksize=4096

Thank you for your good job and for any reply.

Manu
