Regarding whole disk partitions, scroll down in

```auto
man mkudffs

```

it goes into a lot of detail.

Regarding Windows NTFS and streams, grabbing a backup of user files from NTFS will nearly always have a few files with named streams.

For the other interesting ideas, it might be best to start a new thread, as this was originally about umask.

Thanks! 👍 Yes, I’ve been looking in the manual, and I think I’ve found what option I need to use. Since it’s a lot, and a lot of the same (ie labels), it’s prob best to make small bash script to run.

Thanks for the help!
