I've for quite a long time have been having problems accessing ntfs partitions, until I found a way that works. I can read/write and execute files on my ntfs partion, through the ntfs3g driver.
However, as a sideeffect, all files on the partion are marked as executable, which is not what I want.
This is my fstab line:
Code:
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/drive_d ntfs-3g users,exec,locale=en_GB.utf8,umask=022,uid=1000,gid=1000
Obviously this is down to the umask=022.
So I ask, which umask is correct, when I want read/write support + executable files?
I've googled long and hard, and all I ever find are confusing posts and references to man umask, which I do not find helpful.
Anyone??
UPDATE:
Replace "umask=022" with "fmask=133,dmask=022", that should give you what you're looking for.
