I think that was the case for ntfs-3g.
I'm not certain that's the case anymore with the new kernel NTFS driver, though I havent tested it. If it isn't, it should be correctly handling the file premissions.
LMDE6 still uses ntfs-3g as far as I can tell, so I'm going to assume that regular Mint does too.
lsmodreports nothing like ntfs, and the tried and tested, if no longer developed, ntfs-3g suite is installed.Things might change as and when the kernel driver is more stable for writing. I'm sure more bleeding-edge distros are already running the kernel driver, but then, those who run those distros are deep into Linux and NTFS is not really something they deal with regularly.
I believe it actually is used in regular Mint (the Debian kernel doesn't include it, but it looks like Ubuntu's and Mint's do). But yes, I suppose it is still in the process of being adopted by various distributions.
