Unable to mount ntfs drive with permissions options

[Voidless]

Hi, I currently have a problem with a ntfs drive I use on which I need to mount with the permissions mount option so I can chown some folder on it to give access to my apache webserver.

I use udevil with devmon for mounting and I adjusted the udevil.conf appropriately to add permissions to the allowed_options as well as to the default_options_ntfs. I enabled logging in udevil and this is the command ran to mount my drive:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '@04 Apr 2013 23:20:08::root$ /usr/bin/udevil --mount /dev/sdb2 --mount-options noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime
ROOT: /bin/mount -t ntfs -o nosuid,noexec,nodev,noatime,permissions,utf8,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime /dev/sdb2 /media/flex
Mounted /dev/sdb2 at /media/flex
')

I guess the fact that some options are doubled here is that some comes from the devmon default?

However after the drive is mounted I still can't use chown on any files or folder present on the drive...
when I just run mount to display my mounted drive, here is what it lists :

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '/dev/sdb2 on /media/flex type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096)')

There is also a UserMapping file present in the usual .NTFS-3G folder containing the SID mapping to uid and gid for my windows machine. but it seems not to work.

I tried running ntfs-3g with the permissions options directly too, but once the drive is mounted I still can't chown anything on it.

Can someone pinpoint what I'm doing wrong? So I can mount my drive with linux permissions so that my apache server can access file on it while running as the http user.

Thanks,

Nobody has an idea at all? I've been trying to solve that issue by myself for a while now and a little help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

I don't think anybody here cares too much about permissions as this is mainly for home use, especially with NTFS. Try the archlinux forum, maybe you'll get more help there.
