Are posix permissions supported/emulated? Or are they set to 777 for all Windows drives in /mnt like shared folders in a VM?

Correction: filesystem permissions are not fully emulated, but they aren't disobeyed either. Looks like everything obeys the user's permissions, which is good, but everything under /mnt shows up as 777 root/root.
