Mount options for ADFS
----------------------
uid=nnn All files in the partition will be owned by
user id nnn. Default 0 (root).
gid=nnn All files in the partition will be in group
nnn. Default 0 (root).
ownmask=nnn The permission mask for ADFS 'owner' permissions
will be nnn. Default 0700.
othmask=nnn The permission mask for ADFS 'other' permissions
will be nnn. Default 0077.
Mapping of ADFS permissions to Linux permissions
------------------------------------------------
ADFS permissions consist of the following:
Owner read
Owner write
Other read
Other write
(In older versions, an 'execute' permission did exist, but this
does not hold the same meaning as the Linux 'execute' permission
and is now obsolete).
The mapping is performed as follows:
Owner read -> -r--r--r--
Owner write -> --w--w---w
Owner read and filetype UnixExec -> ---x--x--x
These are then masked by ownmask, eg 700 -> -rwx------
Possible owner mode permissions -> -rwx------
Other read -> -r--r--r--
Other write -> --w--w--w-
Other read and filetype UnixExec -> ---x--x--x
These are then masked by othmask, eg 077 -> ----rwxrwx
Possible other mode permissions -> ----rwxrwx
Hence, with the default masks, if a file is owner read/write, and
not a UnixExec filetype, then the permissions will be:
-rw-------
However, if the masks were ownmask=0770,othmask=0007, then this would
be modified to:
-rw-rw----
There is no restriction on what you can do with these masks. You may
wish that either read bits give read access to the file for all, but
keep the default write protection (ownmask=0755,othmask=0577):
-rw-r--r--
You can therefore tailor the permission translation to whatever you
desire the permissions should be under Linux.
