Upon reading the instructions here
http://en.opensuse.org/NTFS. I thought I would let you know of a few issues with that article.
mounting a partition like this with ntfs-3g:
Code:
/dev/sda1****/Windows/C**** ntfs-3g******user,users,gid=users,umask=0002****0 0
will result in error messages such as "could not change permissions too....." when copying over from a *nix partition like xfs. its best to just use "silent,users" for your options as it allows the error messages to be suppressed.
DO NOT USE REPO'S BUILDS unless you are using a kernel newer then 2.6.20. If you build from scratch as shown above you can use NTFS-3G safely and reliably with the default 10.2 kernel.
