Hi givre, this was a very old post of yours but I couldn't find the info I need anywhere else. I think it's a question of nomenclature!
So it's about the term "setuid-root". What does it mean exactly that a file is setuid-root?
Does it mean it is simply owned by user root OR
Does it mean it is owned by root AND it has the SUID bit turned on?
In case you're wondering, this is where I'm coming from:

Hi everyone.
I need help, it s been 2 days i am trying to mount my windows xp partition(hpfs/ntfs) in my new ubuntu 8.10.
I tried a lot of things I read on many forums but without any results(or good ones at least). When I try to mount it with "sudo mount -a", it replies:
here is my output from the command "sudo fdisk -l"Unexpected clusters per mft record (-1).
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sdb1' doesn't have a valid NTFS.
Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around?
The one I am triyng to mount(winxp) is "/dev/sdb1" and my Ubuntu(8.10) is "/dev/sdb6"Disk /dev/sda: 20.4 GB, 20491075584 bytes

First, this thread is outdated, and you shouldn't follow the instructions in the first post, since you're running Intrepid.
It looks to me like your NTFS partition is somehow corrupt. Try booting into XP and running the disk check utility on the partition. Then reboot into XP again. Then try again from Linux.
Also, please post your /etc/fstab, just in case something's screwy there.
It seem i can't even start winxp anymore. I just re-installed Ubuntu and im doing upgrades right now. I think i m gonna have to format my hard drive and re-install everything again to have it to work well...
But before I format, there is some data i really would like to save from erasing, is there another way i can save specific files or folders in Winxp from Ubuntu?
Given that your XP partition is apparently hosed, I wouldn't hold out much hope. You can look around for data recovery tools that work with NTFS (you might have to look in the Windows world for this). Unless you can mount the partition, you can't access the data from Ubuntu.
One thing you can do if you have enough available disk space is make a copy of the partition. That would allow you to go ahead and reformat, then if you ever figured out a way to recover your data, you could do so. You can mount files as if they were disks in Linux. I don't know if Windows can do that, though, and it's probable that most data recovery that deal with NTFS will be for Windows. At any rate, to copy an entire partition:This is written from memory, so it might not be quite correct. Read the dd man page to be sure.Code:dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/name/of/file/to/save/as bs=512
Thx a lot for your time mssever.
Fantastic!!!

i've read a bunch of HOWTO guides in the ubuntuforums over the past 3 or so years, but this is one of the finest.
clear and considerate.
great job!
