It worked!! Great! thanks!
One thing that has happened now. I have set the permissions so that I can read AND write to the /windows/D/ drive. I am able to paste a file or save a file to that drive. When I do paste or save, I get the following error message: Could not change permissions for /windows/D/CurrentDocs/Other/testsave.odt
Ignore it.
the message changes depending on which subdirectory I am saving to, but it is the same message. Nevertheless, the file is saved in that drive just fine and I am able to access it. So it is like I get an error message but I cannot tell if there is really any problem with saving the file. Any suggestions?
The message happens because the ntfs partition can not store the same ownership and permission information you have on the linux side of the filesystem, and it is given when the application program tries to save the file. IMO, the app should know it is dealing with such a filesystem and not attempt to match all the permissions. You will get less messages if you mount that device by the same user which owns the linux files. Or change the mount options to match (user= and gid= options, and perhaps fmask). - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
