external hddrive NTFS read
 

I have a 320 gig external harddrive connected via firewire where i store music on an ntfs partition and i have a fat32 partition so that i can transfer files between linux and windows. Suse recognizes both devices very nicely and i can write to the fat32, however it will not even let me read the ntfs partition. has anybody had this problem?

thanks

Can you read the NTFS drive as root? What are the error messages?
Maybe this helps: http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2005/0...iteaccess.html

Have you tried accessing it as root?
I have a similar problems with an external usb disk + ntfs on fc4 (can mount device, cannot access as user, ro access only as root)


edit = abisko was faster and more accurate :)

Ok

when i log in as root i can access it. but when i log onto the regular user i have to use file manager super user to look, but i want to link a media program so i can listen to my music all the time. any suggestions?

thanks

Had this same problem (internal NTFS hard drive, though). If the link that
abisko00 gave doesn't work, then try what I did. Hopefully it work.

You need to add this in your /etc/fstab (this is MY fstab, so modify your /dev and /media points to whatever yours is)
