Please, find in the following the list of partitions. As root from SuSE I tried to change the access rights to a partition with ntfs file system. Apparently the mode change is performed even ifactually no change has taken place:
mauede@bordighera:/home> su - Password: bordighera:/home # ll total 8 drwxr-xr-x 33 mauede users 4096 Aug 31 22:43 mauede drwxr-xr-x 1 root users 4096 Jul 30 05:31 storage bordighera:/home # chmod a+w ./storage/ bordighera:/home # ll total 8 drwxr-xr-x 33 mauede users 4096 Aug 31 22:43 mauede drwxr-xr-x 1 root users 4096 Jul 30 05:31 storage bordighera:/home # chmod a+r ./storage/ bordighera:/home # ll
Do I need a special Linux driver to access an ntfs file system ?
Obviously - the one for ntfs :-)
/etc/fstab file contents: ... /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_6Y080M0_Y21GWDCC-part1 /windows/C ntfs-3g users,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_6Y080M0_Y21GWDCC-part4 /home/storage ntfs-3g users,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0
The driver is correct. Issue on a terminal, as root, the command "mount" to see with which exact options were those partitions mounted really. The mask you use is: fmask=133, dmask=022 rw-r--r-- drwxr-xr-x I think that is your problem, you are not allowing write permission to the group in your mask. # Octal permissions (man chmod): # UserID * 4 + GroupID * 2 + sticky * 1 # Read * 4 + Write * 2 + Execute * 1 ( owner ) # Read * 4 + Write * 2 + Execute * 1 ( group ) # Read * 4 + Write * 2 + Execute * 1 ( rest ) In case of masks, it is negated. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
