Hi,


The sticky bit is a special permission bit mostly used for directories reserved for user uploads. Being a permission feature, it cannot only be used with Linux permissions enabled (user mapping defined).

There is no Windows equivalent for the sticky bit.

Thank you, Jean-Pierre, for a quick response!

But I am afraid that I do not understand your second sentence. Would you pls give me some hints on how to enable the sticky bit on mounted partition?

Hi,


You have to mount with the permissions option or define a user mapping file (see http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g ... nd-permis$

For example, you can mount with :

With this option set, do not pollute your real files unless you understand the consequences, only create temporary files or directories. In particular, you can create a subdirectory and make it sticky :

Notice the final 't' in "drwxr-xr-t" meaning the directory was made sticky.

This works!

Thanks a lot!
