Bug Description
The partition is mounted with ntfs-3g (I think -- something like that) and I can create files, as well as edit the majority of files on the partition. However, for certain files I do not have write permission. The owner and group of the files are "root". I attempted to use chown to change the ownership to my own user account. chown does not change ownership or the group; the command does nothing at all.
Attached is the log from #ubuntu at irc.ubuntu.com (and miscellaneous comments) as it refers to this bug.
