Comment 11 for bug 157396

Is not a Nautilus problem.
To search the problem, i go to a complete re-install of my Ubuntu 7.10.
Now, i check all.
The ntfs-3g installed in my computer is version 1:1.913-2ubuntu1.
My computer have only a hard disk:
sda1 is a Windows XP C: drive, filesystem NTFS
sda2 is a Windows D: drive, filesystem NTFS
sda3 is swap linux
sda4 is / linux, filesystem ext3.

Then, I go to copy a test file not in Nautilus (then, is not a Nautilus problem).
I use the terminal.
The file is test.txt
I copy from terminal and paste in this comment.

carmelo@ubuntu-laptop:~$ cp -p test.txt test2.txt
carmelo@ubuntu-laptop:~$ stat test*

The modify time of test.txt (origin) and of test2.txt (destination) is the same, and is OK.
In a view of Nautilus, i see the modify time, and is OK.
And now, copy in NTFS drive:

carmelo@ubuntu-laptop:~$ cp -p test.txt /media/sda2/test3.txt
cp: preservato l'orario di `/media/sda2/test3.txt': Funzione non permessa
carmelo@ubuntu-laptop:~$ cp -p /media/sda2/test3.txt /media/sda2/test4.txt
cp: preservato l'orario di `/media/sda2/test4.txt': Funzione non permessa
carmelo@ubuntu-laptop:~$ stat /media/sda2/test*

I think this is the problem is at the cp command.
cp: preservato l'orario di `/media/sda2/test3.txt': Funzione non permessa
Transaltion from my italian language is:
cp: preserved the time of `/media/sda2/test3.txt': function not permitted

I see You have access different from my access
You: Access: (0664/-rw-rw-r--)
In my computer:
filesystem ext3: Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--)
filesystem ntfs: Access: (0770/-rwxrwx---)

Then, if i work in superuser mode:
 su
Parola d'ordine:
root@ubuntu-laptop:/home/carmelo# cp -p /media/sda2/test3.txt /media/sda2/test5.txt
root@ubuntu-laptop:/home/carmelo# stat /media/sda2/test5*

And I not have the problems of preserving the time.
If, from terminal, i start Nautilus, copy and paste a file is OK.
Now, my report is not of a bug, and i can confirm: is not a BUG of NTFS-3G!!!

Sorry.

At this point, the solution is:
A correct acces for the user to not have my problems with NTFS filesystem (must be Ubuntu to set this) is:
change the permission of all NTFS filesystem at the same level of ext3 filesystem.

Is correct?

my /etc/fstab is:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda4
UUID=5b3f43f5-a935-498d-9dbb-52299fd1c696 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sda1
UUID=F8788F19788ED5B2 /media/sda1 ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
# /dev/sda2
UUID=567ECDF67ECDCF45 /media/sda2 ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
# /dev/sda3
UUID=d1b5bed4-2e03-4ef7-963c-439bd81c0f74 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0

And now, if I change
UUID=567ECDF67ECDCF45 /media/sda2 ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
in:
UUID=567ECDF67ECDCF45 /media/sda2 ntfs defaults,umask=000,gid=46 0 1
can be I solve the problem of preserving the modify time?
