I split up my SSD into multiple partition due to work with multiple OS. One of the partition is used for Ubuntu, one for Windows, and one is accessed by both OS to exchange data.
I want to change the permission of the data in the shared partition to he permission set 755
by my Ubuntu OS.
sudo chmod 775 -R MyDocuments
whereby MyDocuments
is a soft link to the third partition.
Why does my system still tell me this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jonas jonas 19 Apr 22 09:07 MyDocuments -> /media/MyDocuments/
All the data inside this partition is also permission set 777
.
sudo chmod 775 -R /media/MyDocuments
did not work neither-R

- you don't want all your files to be executable by everyone. Is the partition formatted NTFS? If so, then AFAIK you can't set Linux style permissions, but you can change the mount options to get the perms you want
