Thread: NTFS mount issue

i must have wrong, i'm trying mount, in fstab, ntfs hard drive following entry...

code:

uuid=90f451d9f451c260 /media/backup ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_us.utf8,umask=0    0 0

and when check ls -alf, see belongs root:root, full permissions. however, when try change file permissions sudo chmod, nothing happens. next checked how drive mounted "mount" , saw following...

code:

/dev/sdb1 on /media/backup type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions)

also, i'm not sure how describe best, when @ files in /media/backup directory ls -alf, of sub-directories highlighted in green. other drive, sub-directories in blue letters (even if belong root:root).

issue ntfs mount, or way i've mounted drive?

thanks,
brian

nevermind... according ntfs-3g manual @ tuxera... http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-manual/

by default, files , directories owned effective user , group of mounting process , has full read, write, execution , directory browsing permissions. can assign permissions single user using uid and/or gid options umask, or fmask , dmask options.

i still don't reason why ls shows directory color highlighted green. insight that?

thanks,
brian
