Re: Mounting NTFS partitions....
Still one thing seems broken in the NTFS support, after every NTFS mount,
the mount point automatically becomes rwx for owner and no permissions to
others, obviously, I can't change that AFTER mount since it's a ro file
system. The only thing I can think of is mounting it with '-o
uid=other_then_root' so that other users can also read the fs...
Could it be a feature-bug of the experimental driver to keep from other
users trashing an ntfs partition, or is there something I did wrong??
