Thread: external HardDrive permissions

k have been having trouble getting ability set permission on usb simpledrive ntfs 320 gb external hard drive. used work fine in other earlier distributions doesnt.

use host ftp , owner , can via proftpd myself non eo fmy users can.

know permissions thing because "others" set have none. try change (under nautilus) instantly changes back.

tried chmod ntfs , got me no where.

fstab file

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# use 'blkid -o value -s uuid' print universally unique identifier
# device; may used uuid= more robust way name
# devices works if disks added , removed. see fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/mapper/evilbuntu-root / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /boot on /dev/sda5 during installation
uuid=4b94d259-09a8-4278-a839-6c6d498ff11a /boot ext2 defaults 0 2

tried add many ways tells me dont have root priviledges mount after wards. has been going on week of constant searching , posting nothing. in need of help. through googling have seen not 1 issue none of remedies else has fixed me.

have tried plugging windows machine multiple times (where works fine) doesnt on ubuntu 9.10.

ntfs not support linux permissions. permissions assigned @ mount time. must change way filesystem mounted.
