umask options
well after some reading i have a question about the umask option.
it seems that when invoking umask for ntfs mounts in fstab, there is an extra digit... example: /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs umask=0222 0 0 whereas all other umask options i have found are umask=XXX versus umask=YXXX. am i just crazy or is this true? |
It's for things like sticky bit, suid and such.. it should explain this in the chmod man page
|
It's true, but for all I know you may well be crazy :)
I would imagine you can use four-bit umasks for other filesystems too (though I don't know). You can always just use a three-bit mask if you want to (on that two-bit ntfs filesystem :D) |
thanks for the replies,
it was odd to me because most of the info i see about umask etc. refers to 3 digits only. come to think of it, maybe i should just format that filesystem anyway. of course then i wouldn't be able to boot into my other os :D |
