[Bug 1194225] Re: Can't set current working directory into ntfs mounted directory.

[Eric Roy Hyatt]

The whole sentence is deceptive.
My issue arose because I applied "no_def_opts".
The documentation says that "no_def_opts" cancels options "silent", "allow_other", and "nonempty".
The documentation does not say that "no_def_opts" overrides the "default behavior" described in the Access Handling paragraph, conveniently described 33 paragraphs from the description of no_def_opts.
There are 5-6 other default behaviors described in the documentation.  Does no_def_opts cancel all of these, for example the default behavior "relatime"?

Title:
  Can't set current working directory into ntfs mounted directory.

Status in “ntfs-3g” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  My Xubuntu installation has an ext4 partition mounted at / and an ntfs
  partition mounted at /path

  When I "cd /path" either as a user or as root, the system responds
  "/path:  Operation not permitted", and my current working directory does not change.    I expected to get no error message and for the current working directory to be changed to "/path".

  The critical line in /etc/fstab is
  "/path  ntfs-3g no_def_opts,allow_other  0 2"

  My guess is that this is a bug in ntfs-3g, since I have had other
  linux machines (Fedora and Debian) with the same arrangement of
  partitions.  On these other machines I have been able to set my
  current working directory to a directory in the NTFS partition.
