One use case that is significantly easier with NTFS is setting up a shared local storage for several users on the same system. With NTFS one can just use mount options to ensure all files/directories have the correct ownership and permissions[1]. With native file systems one has to mess around with umasks for each user and environment (console, X session and systemd --user, possibly also Wayland). Or configure some daemon (cron job, systemd timer, inotify, etc.) to fix ownership and permissions in the background. Yuck! I'd be interested to know if there are better ways to do this. [1] uid, gid, fmask and dmask mount options Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
