Suddenly no permissions on ntfs disk

Hello,

I have an NTFS partition on my hard disk which is mounted using the KDE / udev subsystems. Suddenly - after no change I'm aware off - I have not write permissions anymore. And in fact, I don't why...

1 florian@horus /media/121086BD1086A777 % ll -a
insgesamt 14674156
drwx------ 1 florian florian      16384 15. Mai 17:14 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 root    root          4096 17. Mai 10:45 ../
[...]
drwx------ 1 florian florian       4096 14. Nov 2009  Users/
drwx------ 1 florian florian      16384 27. Apr 23:18 Windows/

florian@horus /media/121086BD1086A777 % touch abc
touch: cannot touch `abc': Permission denied

1 florian@horus /media/121086BD1086A777 % su
Password: 
root@horus /media/121086BD1086A777 # touch abc
touch: cannot touch `abc': Permission denied

1 root@horus /media/121086BD1086A777 # mount
[...]
/dev/sda2 on /media/121086BD1086A777 type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177)

Even root can't touch it. Mount options are rw.

Anyone an idea which permission I'm missing and why? Yesterday I was working without problemes....

Thanks!

Re: Suddenly no permissions on ntfs disk

I had similar problems on a fat32 partition recently. I started up my windows system and it found and fixed errors after which the disk was ok again.

Re: Suddenly no permissions on ntfs disk

I fixed it with installing ntfs-3g. No idea why it used to work before...
