Hi,

I cannot change the permissions of file "/Destination/filename"
It's the first time I have this issue with NTFS-3G. Is this normal or am I missing anything?
It is probably normal and you have missed reading the manual.
Contrary to older versions of ntfs-3g, ntfs-3g-2009.11.14 fully supports ownership and permissions.... but you have to define a few parameters.
As a first step, create, in the NTFS root directory, a directory named .NTFS-3G (use capitals and do not forget the initial dot !), and, in this directory insert a file named UserMapping (only U and M as capital letters), containing this single line :
Code:
Code:
::S-1-5-21-3141592653-589793238-462643383-10000
and it should be OK. Please read the ntfs-3g manual or
http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g ... rmissions/ for explanations.
