[SOLVED] NTFS Operation Not Supported (45)
[PLEASE JUMP HERE IF YOU WANT TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE SOLUTION] I have been struggling with a few permissions related problems and would really appreciate some help: This is my setup: - User mode...
A further update
I performed all my testing of the aforementioned "nt acl support = no" solution via Readynas Remote since my X6 is now at my sister's house in England but I am in the U.S. Unfortunately it seems that while this works fine for MS Word edits via RNR, this setting prevents Windows XP users from even mapping network drives. The result is they are completely cut off from the Readynas so I have had to revert to the former setting. So it seems that I still don't have a solution.
At this point I am running out of ideas. If there is a way to configure Samba to filter out ACLs while still allowing access using standard UNIX permissions, it's beyond my knowledge of Samba. According to Tuxera, this error cannot be fixed until Netgear updates to a more recent Linux kernel. When the developer learned that RAIDiator is running Linux 2.6.17 he responded:
His first point refers to the fact that when you do ls -l on a file with ACLs in RAIDiator 4.1.6 you don't even see the '+' character that should be present after the rwx permissions. This indicates that ACLs aren't even fully implemented in this version of the linux kernel.
Fuse is a Linux driver that allows IO subsystems like ntfs-3g to run in user space.
So it is looking like there are only two solutions remaining:
1) Netgear upgrades RAIDiator with kernel >= 2.6.20 and includes ntfs-3g 2010.8.8 (with the "--enable-posix-acls" option)
2) Netgear provides some configurability in frontview so that backups can be set up that don't preserve permissions (for both cp and rsync)
Any comment from ewok as to the near-term feasibility of either option?
Thanks!

There are two different issues here :
First : the ACLs are not fully implemented. This has nothing to do with ntfs-3g or fuse, we can see that it is not able to show the presence of an ACL even on ext3.
Second : fuse is probably unsafe (unless the fuse kernel module has been upgraded). I think the problem is that umount does not wait for all dirty pages to be written to disk, and this is probably not acceptable for your needs.
