openSUSE 10.3, NTFS write permission
Hi all
Ive just installed opensuse 10.3 all excited that it is supposed to give automatic read/write access to NTFS partitions via NTFS-3g which is now built into suse. However, it seems that only root has write access to ntfs partitions. As a simple user I can only read the partitions and write access is denied. I enclose my '/etc/fstab' entry (generated by the installation; I have not changed it) and 'ls-l' of the windows mount points to see if you guys/girls can help: /etc/fstab: /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD1600BEVS-_WD-WXE107257702-part2 /windows/C ntfs-3g users,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022,locale =en_GB.UTF-8 0 0 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD1600BEVS-_WD-WXE107257702-part5 /windows/D ntfs-3g users,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022,locale =en_GB.UTF-8 0 0 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD1600BEVS-_WD-WXE107257702-part6 /windows/E ntfs-3g users,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022,locale =en_GB.UTF-8 0 0 ls -l /windows: drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 120 2007-10-05 12:37 windows ls -l /windows/E: drwxr-xr-x 1 root users 4096 2007-09-20 17:14 Documents drwxr-xr-x 1 root users 0 2007-09-23 12:47 Downloads drwxr-xr-x 1 root users 4096 2007-10-05 16:58 Images drwxr-xr-x 1 root users 0 2007-09-19 16:51 Misc drwxr-xr-x 1 root users 4096 2007-09-19 15:13 Movies drwxr-xr-x 1 root users 4096 2007-09-24 19:35 Music drwxr-xr-x 1 root users 0 2007-09-14 21:13 $RECYCLE.BIN drwxr-xr-x 1 root users 0 2007-09-14 23:01 System Volume Information Thanks for any help |
Remove the fmask=133,dmask=022 options then it should work for users too.

I downloaded and installed ntfs-config and used it as root to change the write permissions...all is well now.

I had the same problem on Suse 10.3, after installing ntfs-config in Yast and running it. I was still not working. After unchecking and rechecking my drives everything worked fine.
Hope this helps someone. Try uncheck and check again. |
all you really had to do was change users,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022,locale
=en_GB.UTF-8 0 0 to defaults 0 0. i just did it and it worked. but you have to be in root to change the fstab |
fmask=133,dmask=022
what does that parameter mean. |

If you are the only user of this machine you could use 'uid=<yourusername>',fmask=177,dmask=077' to give you full exclusive access. |
