[CLOSED] NTFS partition with NTFS3 gives weird fmask/dmask values
Hello,
I decided to switch the file system of a data partition that I share with Windows in my dual-boots system. I wanted to use the NTFS3 kernel driver. So I created the partition, and put the following lines on fstab
/dev/sda7 /mnt/SHARED ntfs3 defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0133,dmask=0133 0 0I'm the only user on my systems.
When I check output of mount -l I get
/dev/sda7 on /mnt/SHARED type ntfs3 (rw,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=37777600133,dmask=37777600133,iocharset=utf8)Why I get those loooong fmask/dmask values?
touching a file in /mnt/SHARED creates a file with the expected access options and ownership, so they work, but looks funny.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks

I divide by zero, multiple times per day. Also, I don't believe in tipping

Thanks,
I changed my fstab line into
/dev/sda7 /mnt/SHARED ntfs3 defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0177,dmask=0077 0 0Closing this thread, because it's not my fault
