[Bug 1194225] [NEW] Can't set current working directory into ntfs mounted directory.

[Eric Roy Hyatt]

Public bug reported:

My Xubuntu installation has an ext4 partition mounted at / and an ntfs
partition mounted at /path

When I "cd /path" either as a user or as root, the system responds
"/path:  Operation not permitted", and my current working directory does not change.    I expected to get no error message and for the current working directory to be changed to "/path".

The critical line in /etc/fstab is
"/path  ntfs-3g no_def_opts,allow_other  0 2"

My guess is that this is a bug in ntfs-3g, since I have had other linux
machines (Fedora and Debian) with the same arrangement of partitions.
On these other machines I have been able to set my current working
directory to a directory in the NTFS partition.
