Mount NTFS so that files are not executable buts directories are

nasty_daemon · 09-14-2005, 11:02 AM

hey, i have a problem when mounting NTFS partitions

i use the options: users,umask=0222
and all the files are with execute permisions.
I tried noexec parameter but that did not work.
I haven't managed up to now in a NTFS partition to have
the directories with execute permission so that i can cd them and the
files with no execute..

Had the exact wish as you now. Fixed it and now fstab line is

Code:

/dev/hda3 /mnt/win ntfs ro,nls=koi8-r,umask=0000,fmask=0111 0   0

so the options are umask=0000,fmask=0111

There are separate fmask and dmask options for mounting the NTFS filesystem. Dmask is for directories and fmask is for files

This info should be in Documentation/filesystems/ntfs.txt under you linux kernel source directory.

The fmask and umask options are also explained in the vfat section of 'man 8 mount'.

There may be a "man 8 fstab" also to reference.
