Repeating my tests, I agree with Jean-Pierre: the system response is "Operation not supported" not "Operation not permitted". I wrote my report of 16 October from handwritten notes--I conclude that I transcribed the system response incorrectly. Thanks you Mr. Andre for your suggestions regarding "silent" or "uid=0". Both allowed me past the roadblock I had described.
I conclude that most of my problem arose because I did not understand the documentation. I am now mounting the partition in question with "permissions", which I understand defines standard permissions for the contents of the partition. If this is true, the documentation would be clearer if it explicitly said something like "standard permissions are not defined unless ..." Further, the part of the documentation that says "ACCESS HANDLING AND SECURITY/Be default, files and directories are owned by ... and everybody has full read, write, execution and directory browsing permissions." is at best deceptive, at worst completely untrue. Some of Jean-Pierre's previous comments to should be added to the documentation to improve it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1194225 Title: Can't set current working directory into ntfs mounted directory.
