I'm about to import a giant pile of bits from an NTFS-formatted USB drive. I can find no discussion on how the files imported from a disk are assigned ownership and permissions. The "Import Disk" dialog lets me set a destination directory, but that's it.
VFAT volumes have no concept of ownership. NTFS volumes have ownership info, but it doesn't necessarily map to any accounts/users on the NAS.
When the files finally land in the destination directory, who owns them and what permissions do they have?
