Something I wasn't aware of at the time of our prior discussion is that the Linux NTFS-3g driver already supports Linux extended ACLs on NTFS. This is discussed at http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-advanced/ownership-and-permissions/ I explored taking a flash card back and forth between C

Let me take a try on Achim's case with/refining the "alternative idea"; this seems one of the kinds of cases that it is intended to help. (Corinna, I hope at least some of the ideas here prove helpful to you, and my posting this isn't (too) annoying. Again, please expect/forgive glitches as I'm n

Thanks for the explanation/correction about umask's non-impact if there are default ACL entries. I'm not recalling exactly what I had seen on Linux that made me think there was an impact. >> If the incoming, inherited ACL contains the three entries for user, group, and other, it's with very hi

Hi again, Corinna. I appreciate these recent changes, the more complete Posix ACL support looks beneficial for sharing/syncing files between Cygwin and Linux machines, and for more compatible scripting. But I've noticed a few possibly-concerning items: Item 1: >> - I introduced a change in chmo

Thanks for the reply. Seems we've maybe miscommunicated a bit tho. So not meaning to argue, just to try to clarify, let me try again: None of my concern, none of my examples, were intended to involve any ACLs other than those created by Cygwin touch, chgrp, chmod, and setfacl. (setfacl only used

Re the user SID != group SID, chmod -x case: Thanks, sorry to have wasted your time. It does seem the same on Linux, and chmod ug-x does appear to work correctly. My bad. Re the user SID = group SID case: I'm not offhand spotting how to use chmod to create the ACL your "They do:" example displays

The changes regarding the user SID = group SID case look generally good to me. Thanks for considering the idea. I do wonder if it is best that the Everyone privileges would "leak" into the group permission mode/mask tho, either at the Posix or ACL levels. They don't seem to for user SID != group

Regarding Corrinne's proposal to treat SYSTEM's ACE distinct from others in forming the apparent group permission "mask": Might it be sensible to do somewhat similar for the case where a file's owner is the same as its primary group (i.e., same SID)? It has seemed the chmod behavior for this case
