Not sure what the heck you all are recently taking about. Most linux users of a ntfs partition are using to store files for use on any Os or store files without any permission nonsense. Those that actually place .exe files & want to then execute them from an Ubuntu session would likely be using

> why it defaults to execute on when the in kernel driver does not. Well, most users do not define the mapping of their user ids to Windows ids, so the permissions cannot be stored to the device, and the permissions have to be the same for all files and all users. If the default was no-execute, th

Udisks specifying a default mask was removed intentionally, leaving the default to the NTFS driver. ntfs-3g defaults to all executable. People often do have executable files on their NTFS drives and want to be able to execute them. This has gone back and forth a few times over the years and with

In ubuntu 16.10/17.04/17.10, handling of ntfs drives has changed compared to 14.04.5. Now, all files on an ntfs drive are marked as executable. This is bad for several reasons: - it just does not make any sense, data files are not executable, windows executables are usually not executable on lin

Please understand that this is severely affecting basic ubuntu use with ntfs drives for basic users, while bug #453605 that is said to be the reason of the misbehaviour has merely given more options to advanced users and was not intended to mess up file handling in the way it presumably did. If
