Thanks! I've read the manual and then tried different umask options. |
| 16 |
Umask=222 seems the most reasonable for what I need. I noticed that the |
| 17 |
different subdirectories and files automatically inherit the allocated |
| 18 |
NTFS partition access rights. Is this how umask in fstab works |
| 19 |
(recursively)? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
On a hypothetical case where you want to give different access rights to |
| 22 |
all/some subdorectories & files, do you have to set these individually |
| 23 |
the first time after mounting the partition, use ACL's, or what else? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Sorry if my questions appear silly - I've always been confused by this |
| 26 |
topic and its different permutations. |
