10.1 Beta 8 Can Only Access Usb Drives As Root

This horrible perennial has returned again -- there were problems in suse 9.1 with this, fixed in 10.0 but is now back again with a vengeance. in beta 8.

I've got an external (Windows) usb hard drive (/dev/sdb1)

I've got a folder /extdisk1 which has READ permissions for EVERYBODY.

if I type at a console mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/sdb1 /extdisk1 the disk mounts but I can ONLY access it as root.

From every other user I just see a Locked folder and even as root I can't change the permissions.

Grhhhhhhhhhh OK I know it's a beta but I'm having more than enough issues with this.

I'm "Triple" booting between 'Doze XP, SUSE 10.0 (my main running system) and 10.1 so testing 10.1 isn't too much of a hassle.

Cheers

when installing beta software it would be a good idea to read more about it.
SuSE 10.1 will not support subfs anymore. I don't use beta, but I assume that they did not decide yout what mechanism next version of suse will use.
I explained that here:
