I have some USB hard drives. Up to now I used them formatted in fat32. Because of the new git version that does not work properly on fat32 drives, I decided to format my disks in ntfs. Following advices on this list, I removed all default users from root dir of the USB drives and left only Everyone with full control. I want to be able to read/write on these USB disks from any computer, from Windows or Cygwin. Nothing has to be protected.
I expected all new files would get full control for Everyone and no other permissions. Unfortunately that is true only from Windows, not from cygwin. From cygwin: $ touch foo gives: Domain Users = Read MySelf = Read/Write Everybody = Read But I would like only Everybody = Full control. $ mkdir bar gives "permissions are not in the right order" when I right click from Windows on bar and click on security tab. How can I have all files on these drives with only 1 user, i.e. Everyone with full control so that I am sure I can read/write the data from any computer?
