Ntfs-3g hard disks are mounting with wrong permissions since a recent update
Status:
RESOLVED: MOVED

Comments

Description Adrian Lopez 2019-03-29 00:19:15 CET
ISSUE
------------------
when I mount my ntfs-3g hard disk using thunar. The output of the command:

    WINEPREFIX="/my_ntfs_hd/prefix/" winecfg

Shows the next errors and fail -> https://pastebin.com/raw/gCWPTSNk


SOLUTION
-------------------
I mounted the unit using fstab with this line:

    UUID=53B3871A016FD97A /run/media/zeioth/datos/ ntfs-3g  uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077,fmask=177

After rebooting, winecfg works correctly again.


HOW TO REPRODUCE
-----------------------------
Mount your ntfs-3g hard disk using thunar, then run the next command and see if ends gracefully.
    
    WINEPREFIX="/my_ntfs_hd/prefix/" winecfg


PERSONALS NOTES
-----------------------------
This bug was introduced in one of the last updated I installed (arch antergos + xfce). Please, could you try to reproduce it? Thank you.

So the disc was mounted for root, where you expected it to be mounted for for user (uid=1000) ?
The only related change in the past which comes to my mind is this one: Bug #14719

However I dont think that it could be the cause.

Could you please try if the same problem occurs with Nautilus and Nemo ? ( Thunar, Nautilus and Nemo all use gfvs for mounting .. possibly something in gvfs changed )

Thank you for your response alexxcons. Indeed, I can reproduce the error with both Nautilus and Nemo.

This bug has been reported to gvfs. I'll report back the results:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/issues/386

Don't pay attention to my fstab line, it was just a test to isolate the issue.
