Thread: chmod doesn't work

hi!

i'm having problems chmodding ntfs directory. i'm having problems accessing directory through samba because of missing permissions, when try set them, nothing happens.

do:

code:

root@proliant:/media# ls -l  total 32  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root  root       6 jun 20 14:47 cdrom -> cdrom0  drwxr-xr-x 2 root  root    4096 jun 20 14:47 cdrom0  drwxr-xr-x 2 root  root    4096 jun 20 14:47 cdrom1  drwx------ 1 danni admins  4096 jun 18 03:29 hdd.1  drwx------ 1 danni danni  20480 jun 20 15:28 pvt  root@proliant:/media# chmod -v 770 hdd.1  mode of `hdd.1' changed 0770 (rwxrwx---)  root@proliant:/media# ls -l  total 32  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root  root       6 jun 20 14:47 cdrom -> cdrom0  drwxr-xr-x 2 root  root    4096 jun 20 14:47 cdrom0  drwxr-xr-x 2 root  root    4096 jun 20 14:47 cdrom1  drwx------ 1 danni admins  4096 jun 18 03:29 hdd.1  drwx------ 1 danni danni  20480 jun 20 15:28 pvt

(i have highlighted lines of relevance)

tried replace 'hdd.1' '/media/hdd.1' , 'hdd.1/'

ideas or gratefully appreciated!

there 2 possibilities:
1) more likely, have mount options wrong, think permissions there set @ mount time, possibly in 1 of masks. anyways, first place i'd mount options.
2) less likely, going wrong in strange alternate universe ntfs linux permissions conversions. site has bit of information on front: http://b.andre.pagesperso-orange.fr/permissions.html
