> why it defaults to execute on when the in kernel driver does not. Well, most users do not define the mapping of their user ids to Windows ids, so the permissions cannot be stored to the device, and the permissions have to be the same for all files and all users. If the default was no-execute, they could not execute any file, even by tweaking the umask. Ntfs-3g only uses metadata defined for Windows, and does not store any extra metadata which would be useful for Posix usage.
Users who need standard Linux per file and per user ownership and permissions may define their user mapping. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to udisks2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1728467 Title: All files on ntfs partitions are marked executable Status in ntfs-3g package in Ubuntu: New Status in udisks2 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: This did not happen in 14.04 but somewhere since then udisks2 sets any & all files on ntfs partitions as executable.
