"id; touch newfile; stat newfile" OK, you are right "-o permissions" alone accurately preserves owners and permissions, which is sort of what I needed. I was confused by some experiments I did with memory sticks accessed from Windows.
"Yes, that should be expected. You cannot both define the owner of a file both as the current user and a forced user. See http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-advanced/ownership-and- permissions/#options" Ownership and permission are orthogonal settings. You could force ownership while leaving permissions alone. This would be useful when working with memory sticks that are accessed both in Windows and Linux (because sometimes directories created in Windows will appear owned by root and unwritable). The permissions/conditions table is actually quite confusing. It's trying to represent a decision tree. I don't have better suggestions though, other than switching the column order, i.e. Condition first, Results second. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1087915 Title: Can't combine -o permissions with -o uid=UUU,gid=GGG To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntfs-3g/+bug/1087915/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
