I used to share some folders on my NTFS external hard drive through samba in Jaunty. Since I upgraded to Karmic, these shares no longer work.

It seems that the permissions for this drive are only set for myself (no permissions for group or others) and I can not change these permissions (not with chmod or with nautilus, they keep jumping back).

I would like to have the same permissions on my external drives as in jaunty (owned by root and writable, executable by everyone). Since I use several drives I would like to avoid using /etc/fstab.

I tried adding the key mount_options with [umask=000] in system/storage/default_options/ntfs . But this doesn't seem to work in Karmic.

Where can I change the permissions on these automatically mounted devices.

Thank you,
Niko
