Post [SOLVED] Win7 rc1 partitions and ntfs-3g question?
I have installed the Win7 RC1 on one of my partitions. Linux was not able to write on the Windows 7 partition (writes work on Windows XP partitions). I found it puzzling that Linux's chmod/chown did not function on the Windows 7 files just the directories. I am thinking that Microsoft has changed their win7 rc1 ntfs format requiring updates to ntfs-3g in-order to get full functionality again or do I need special fstab entries for full functionality? Here is my fstab entries:
Code:
/dev/sda1                       /home/winxp/c           ntfs-3g noatime,uid=1000,gid=100                0 0
/dev/sda5                       /home/winxp/d           ntfs-3g noatime,uid=1000,gid=100                0 0
/dev/sdb2                       /home/win7/c            ntfs-3g noatime,uid=1000,gid=100                0 0
/dev/sdb5                       /home/win7/d            ntfs-3g noatime,uid=1000,gid=100                0 0

Has anyone else seen this issue?
Thanks.

Remove the uid and gid mount options or use advanced NTFS-3G. The driver works fine with Windows 7.

Post Re: Win7 rc1 partitions and ntfs-3g question?
Okay, I have removed the uid and gid from fstab ntfs partition entries. Unmounted and mounted the win7 partition, root still can not write to mounted partition. I am using ntfs-3g 2009.4.4. I have searched the http://www.ntfs-3g.org/index.html but I have not been able to locate advanced ntfs-3g. Where would I find the sources for it or is it just a special configure option?

There can be many reasons why you are not allowed to write. The first step would be to describe what you are doing and what is the exact error message. For example "when I type 'cp foo bar' on the command line then I get the error message "cp: cannot stat `foo': No such file or directory".

Thanks for the quick replies, szaka.
I tried to copy a file:
Code:
root /home/win7/c #  cp /home/pub/test.txt ./
cp: cannot create regular file `./test.txt': Permission denied

I tried to create a file with touch:
Code:
root /home/win7/c #  touch test.txt
touch: cannot touch `test.txt': Permission denied

On the winxp the touch works without issue:
Code:
root /home/winxp/d #  touch test.txt
root /home/winxp/d #  ls -l test.txt
-rwxrwxrwx 1 1000 users 0 2009-05-14 12:34 test.txt

Mount command shows:
Code:
root /home/winxp/d #  mount
/dev/sdb2 on /home/win7/c type ntfs (rw)

It shows that /home/win7/c is read/write.
The permissions for the win7 partition:
Code:
root /home/win7/c #  ls -l

Not sure what else to try? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sorry szaka, I have just located the advanced ntfs-3g on http://pagesperso-orange.fr/b.andre/adv ... fs-3g.html. So I will try and report back once I have compiled and tested. Thanks again szaka.

It shows that /home/win7/c is read/write.

This is the kernel NTFS driver, not NTFS-3G.

With the advanced ntfs-3g, the permissions on win7 partition look the same as winxp partition. The touch test.txt worked.
Code:
root /home/win7/c #  touch test.txt
root /home/win7/c #  ls -l test.txt
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2009-05-14 13:05 test.txt
root /home/win7/c #  ls -l
total 6420297
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root          0 2009-05-12 20:42 $Recycle.Bin
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root       8192 2009-05-12 22:30 BOOTSECT.BAK
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root       4096 2009-05-12 22:30 Boot
l--------- 2 root root         60 2009-04-22 02:27 Documents and Settings -> ./.NTFS-3G/C:/Users

Thank you and have a good one, szaka.
