Access permissions are part of the inode, IIRC, and not part of the directory entry (basically the same as in Win32?).

- dfox 8y agoOn FAT the "permissions" are in fact part of the directory entry (IIRC some OSes in "multitasking DOS" family even have FAT extended by having what essentially is the unix mode, uid, gid tuple in the directory entry). On NTFS permissions live in MFT, which essentially is same thing as inode.
- sigjuice 8y agoYes, this is documented in inode(7)
