I am trying to change the permissions for a folder I have mounted on an ntfs partition that if mounted through fstab on startup. It is owned by me through fstab, and is also owned by my group (just me). I used
Code:
sudo chmod -Rv 755 /windows/XAMPP/htdocs
It runs through saying that it has changed all the permissions but when I run an ls -l the permissions aren't changed at all.
It's currently drwxrwx--- and I want drwxrwxr-x.
My fstab line for that partition looks like:
Code:
UUID=1E6EF10F6EF0E087 /windows ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=1002,uid=1002 0 0
I think the problem is with my umask setting, perhaps it needs to be 002? I just realized this now though, I will try it and get back to this thread (via Edit). For now, any input would be great.
The reason for changing the permissions is because I want to make a symlink from my default apache directory (currently set to ~/www) at ~/www/htdocs and make that directory work for both my windows apache and linux apache.
