Thanks Szabolcs, I will take your advice and install from source (about to have a go now). However, beyond my own interests: Because this could entail other Ubuntu users inadvertently opening up partitions they thought were protected, should the newer ntfs-3g driver be incorporated into Ubuntu's

The problem isn't that not-even-one can write, but that any user can read/write when it's supposed to be accessible by just 1 user (the owner). Using the 'no_def_opts' option, which removes 'allow_other', does prevent all users (except the mounting user) having access, but this isn't the ideal sol

Ok, I see. Not even one user can write to the partition? Well, Ubuntu is using an old, unsupported, custom patched and uncertified NTFS-3G driver with external FUSE. If the configuration is not right then this problem can indeed happen. I suggest removing the Ubuntu NTFS-3G package and installing

Szabolcs - I'm struggling to reproduce this on my system. I'm aware of a kernel problem with FUSE mounted filesystems (which I've been affected by), and this is bug 191831. Could you confirm whether you think this is the same issue? If so, I'll mark it as a duplicate. That particular problem is alr

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, I don't quite understand your problem. Are you saying that even though you have mounted /dev/sde1 with uid=1000 and umask=077, that it is still readable by your guest user? Your output of "ls -l /media" se

Given the disparity here between permissions and access, I thought I had better mark this as a security vulnerability. Please change this if that's inappropriate. Thanks. ** This bug has been flagged as a security issue -- Cannot mount ntfs partition as only writable by 1 user https://bugs.lau

Thanks for the swift reply. Yes. When logged in as 'guest', I can cd into '/media/FILES', ls, read and write. That's what's causing me concern. 'ls -l' inside /media/FILES gives me a full list of the contents, which also have the same permissions (drwx--). Does that clarify the issue? --
