There are two permission inheritance modes available in ntfs-3g : The (so-called) Posix one, and the Windows one. In both cases, you have to define the user mapping so that for each user, Linux and Windows identify the file ownership the same way. For the Posix inheritance mode, you have to mount with option "acl". For the Windows inheritance mode, you have to mount with option "inherit". In both cases you have to define in the parent directory the permissions to be inherited. The inheritance does not apply to ownership, the user who creates a file is always its owner (same for group). Note : Windows rules are different from Linux rules. If you use Windows inheritance, you will get unusual permissions on Linux, and if you do a chmod or chown you switch to Linux mode leading to unusual permissions on Windows.
