Searching here for suse ntfs support showed many post. Check those out. Also if it was me I would use ntfs-3g to mount the partition. It is claimed to be 100percent safe for read and write. If using the ntfs module from the kernel then reading ntfs is fine but no gaurantee that writing to ntfs will work everytime. It can trash an ntfs in millseconds.
