I recently read this answer about mounting NTFS partitions in linux, so that I can change file and folder permissions (chmod). And they explain that I use the option "permissions". Example:

# fstab
UUID=12102C02102CEB83 /mount_point  ntfs-3g  defaults,permissions 0 0

manual


sudo mount /dev/sdax -t ntfs-3g -o permissions /mount_point

And works, but i checked man fstab and man mount and couldn't find the option "permissions". Search internet and in few places mention it, but without link to the source

Can someone tell me where this option comes from? (Provide an official link explaining this option). Thanks

The package ntfs-3g has its own manual page available here.

In particular:

permissions: Set standard permissions on created files and use standard access control. This option is set by default when a user mapping file is present.
