I have just installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I mounted my SOFTS(/dev/sda6), a NTFS partition by selecting it on nautilus. After that I openend the terminal and tried to change the permissions of a file. The command executed but the file permissions remained unchanged. I tried changing the permissions by using root privileges but that did not work either.

Please edit your question to include which filesystem is used. – Jo-Erlend Schinstad May 01 '12 at 11:28

Modifying file ownerships might help? Invoke man chown in the terminal to see how it works!

you have to use the 'permissions" option in fstab, see the link I gave you. – Panther May 02 '12 at 04:24

@wangdw *How* are you suggesting the ownership should be changed. I recommend expanding this answer to include that information. – Eliah Kagan Aug 22 '12 at 08:47
