Public bug reported:
Running Saucy on my laptop. I have a 2TB USB3.0 external HDD that is
factory formatted in NTFS.
When I first plugged it in, it was mounted like so:
drwx------ 1 bladernr bladernr 4096 Dec 16 12:47 Alexandria
and I was able to start creating a python script inside the disk :
-rw------- 1 bladernr bladernr 179 Dec 16 12:47 update-library
However, it was absolutely impossible to make that script executable. I
tried remounting the drive by setting umaks, dmask and fmask to 0777,
and I also tried setting the exec option. But there was absolutely no
way I could make that script executable.
So I reformatted the disk in ext4. This time, the drive mounted with
ownership being root:root. Thus, still unusable, but even moreso this
time because after I plugged in my hard disk, I was unable to even read
the disk, let alone try to copy data or create files on it.
In order to make my USB disk actually usable, as my user, I had to take
the additional step of using chown on a cli. A user shouldn't have to
take extraordinary measures like this to make their external HDD
usable.
