Sorry for my typo, what I wanted to say was "this solution does not work if one wants only some users to have access to the partition", i. e. configure permissions on partition level, i. e. use the mount parameter gid with umask or fmask or dmask. I haven't tried the file-and-directory-level permissions feature of ntfs-3g, i. e. user mapping (btw, thanks for the link, Stefan!). Regards, Jaan
