Howto: Mount Your Ntfs Partition Read/write

Here's a local Wiki point for reference on this recurring topic:

HowTo: Mount your NTFS Partition for Read/Write Access in openSUSE 10.2

Since I'm a new bee regarding filesystems, there are probably errors - so I'd be grateful for comment.

i´d say that the simpliest is to install ntfs-config
you don´t have to edit fstab.it works great.

Hello ra100, and thanks for the comment. I have read in this forum oldcpu's experiences with ntfs-config. He used OpenSuse 10.2 to try it out and it didn't work for him, although he said that he wasn't very motivated. See this thread, posts 12, 13 and 14.

It seems it works for you. Do you know yhy it might be working for you, and not for oldcpu? Maybe you have a full gnome install?? Any advice/thoughts/musings welcome.

Aha.I see.
He has got a external hardisk.I mean it for internal partition, no external harddisk.(I didn´t try it)
But, developers are planning to integrate this in openSUSE 10.3:-)

Thankyou ra100. Your link says: Quote Andreas Jaeger about ntfs-3g:

We're planning to integrate this - I have our engineers looking at what exactly
needs to be done for an automatic integration.[/b]

So I hope we'll see Yast mounting of NTFS partitions on external drives likely for for 10.3

Excellent article. Short and to the point.
