<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>So I've swapped on over to the new NTFS3 driver included in 5.15, and while it is quicker, I've noticed some strangeness about how it handles permissions that I can't find anyone else discussing. I'm aware it's still new and <a href="https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214833">has some known bugs</a>, but I can't see anyone talking about this. I'm not even sure if it's a bug or not.</p> <p>My problem is that while the new driver has no issue reading anything there are some folders that it simply will not allow me to write to without being root, and while these folders are the same each time the drive is mounted, I can't figure out exactly what is causing these folders to require root access to write to.</p> <p>To give some examples (✔️ for writable, ❌ for not writable), I have my Windows C: drive mounted at /windows:</p> <ul> <li>/windows/ ✔️</li> <li>/windows/Windows ✔️</li> <li>/windows/Windows/System32 ✔️</li> <li>/windows/Program Files ❌</li> <li>/windows/Program Files/KeePassXC ❌</li> <li>/windows/Users/ ❌</li> <li>/windows/Users/[My Name]/ ✔️</li> <li>/windows/Users/[My Name]/Videos ❌</li> </ul> <p>I can't see the pattern here, but I am far from an expert at Windows permissions. This is really annoying as Dolphin doesn't let you perform actions as root, so I'm forced to whip out the terminal which is usually a bit slower for me.</p> <p>My immediate attempt to fix this was the umask mount option, but that only seems to affect files created after the drive is mounted. I then tried the noacsrules option, but that didn't seem to affect anything. I tested NTFS-3G just to make sure this wasn't some change in Windows, but that still works fine. Nothing in journalctl either.</p> <p>So any help would be appreciated. What is causing this? Can this be fixed with a mount option, or something else? If not, is this a bug? Thanks in advance. Until then I'll just go back to NTFS-3G, cuz most files I transfer are pretty tiny anyway.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Tur8o"> /u/Tur8o </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/r325t3/permissions_problems_with_the_new_ntfs3_driver/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/r325t3/permissions_problems_with_the_new_ntfs3_driver/">[comments]</a></span> |
