Description Ludwig Nussel 2006-02-03 13:17:29 UTC 
for ntfs the mount options uid=,umask=,dmask= are needed. Otherwise the default would be that files belong to root and are only readable by root. Without umask and dmask it would not be possible to let others than the mount requestor access the files.

submitted new package
Comment 2 Fred Goldstein 2006-02-04 18:38:28 UTC 
What are the corrected values that can be patched in?

I notice that after attempting to access an NTFS partition from 10.1-beta 2 (I haven't installed 3 yet), when I reboot to Windows, the partition is seen as corrupted, and it does a full chkdsk before rebooting.  Perhaps this is because the 2.6.16 kernel tries to open it default rw but it really doesn't understand ntfs well enough yet?
Comment 3 Stephan Kulow 2006-02-04 19:07:28 UTC 
if so, file a bug against the kernel
