Re: permissions issue on mounted volume...

Thanks for the reply db,

I couldn't find any resolution to the matter on any of the pages returned
from your search results, nor anything I searched for myself. The best
suggestion I have found, which unfortuantely did not help in the matter, was
from one of MS's KB articles. They suggested assigning a drive letter to
the volume, applying desired permissions and then remounting it. This had
no effect, even after completely removing the existing permissions and then
redefine them. From my research so far it appears this is a bug (feature :)
in all flavors of NT but I cannot find a solution yet. Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Greg

Hello,

I've come across an odd permissions issue with a mounted volume and am
hoping someone can shed some light as to what is going on. I have a
partition created on my computer that I have full control over and I
am not
experiencing any permissions issues on it. This partition is
accessed using
a drive letter (O:). I have another partition, on another hard
drive, and
have mounted it to a folder on the O: drive (both formatted with NTFS
and
both have the default permissions applied, ie I have not customized
them in
anyway). For some reason I am unable to delete folders on this
mounted
volume but files do not seem to be affected. I can move and rename
these
folders without any problem (even to a different partition) but when
trying
to delete I get an access denied error. I was first thinking that
maybe the
folders are in use (locked) but even after a reboot they are
undeleteable;
the Administrator account has the same problem. The permissions
themselves
look ok but I did notice an oddity: there is an entry for my account
and
"CREATOR OWNER" and they both have "special" permissions. Looking
under the
advanced permissions they do both have full control though. If I go
into
Disk Management and assign a drive letter to this partition I am able
to
delete the folder with no problems at all.

What changes to permissions on a mounted volume?


TIA,

Greg
