[Bug 906117] Re: NTFS partition unusable after copying network folder to it.

[BertN45]

After those long emails trying to cure the symptoms the following bug
remains:

I had a working ntfs partition and used it for ubuntu 9.10/10.04/10.10/11.04 and 11.10 for both read and write. 
I had a windows XP network folder with full permissions set to "system" and my user-id and none to others. My user-id is the same on all systems. 
I used grsync to copy that subfolder from the network folder to my local ntfs partition. unfortunately it had the preserve owner, preserve group and preserve permission ticked.

After the grsync operation my ntfs partition had the following
permission settings: owner "root" with permissions to "access files"
only. Group and Others had no permissions at all.

the mount operation in fstab has been the same before and after the copy operation:
/dev/sda3  /media/Dell-Data  ntfs defaults 0  0  

The operation should only have touched the permissions of the folders
that were copied/synced and should NOT have changed the mount behavior
of the partition nor the permission of the partition itself.

  I had a working ntfs partition and used it for ubuntu
  9.10/10.04/10.10/11.04 and 11.10. I had a windows XP network folder
  with full permissions set to "system" and my user-id. I used grsync to
  copy that a subfolder from the network folder to my ntfs partition.
  unfortunately it had the preserve owner, preserve group and preserve
  permission ticked.

  After the grsync operation my ntfs partition had the following
  permission settings: owner "root" with permissions to "access files"
  only. Group and Others had no permissions at all.

  It has been impossible to correct the situation manually. If grsync or
  other programs are allowed to mess up my permission, I need at least
  the possibility to manually correct it.
