Dear All,
I use OpenSuse 11.2 and Windows XP. After booting to OpenSuse, I can see NTFS drives are mounted but I am always being asked for a password to access them. Is it possible to access NTFS drives without typing a password? The reason is I created links referring to folders and files stored on the NTFS drives. The links become inactive after booting to Linux though.
Show your /etc/fstab, thus everybody can see what is mounted, how and where.

better show the result of the “mount” or “df” command!
jdd
openSUSE installer by default sets mounts in fstab for NTFS partitions that allow read access for everyone but write access for root only. That might be the problem, if it is then you need to change the mount information for the NTFS partitions in fstab from like this:
/dev/disk/by-id/blah_blah-part1 /windows/C ntfs-3g users,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022,locale=en_GB.UTF-8 0 0
to like this
/dev/disk/by-id/blah_blah-part1 /windows/C ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
Reference: HowTo Mount NTFS Filesystem Partition Read Write Access in openSUSE
I would go for mount then (giving the actual mount situation) and not for df (does not tell the fs type and mount parameters and thus we have to guess which one we are talking about).
The /etc/fstab info as follows:
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3120026A_5JT4AN43-part3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3120026A_5JT4AN43-part4 / ext4 acl,user_xattr 1 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
Please post result of this from su terminal
fdisk -l
If you can. Identify the partition you want to do this with. There may only be the one, but sometimes users have a plethora of ntfs partitions and it’s easier if we don’t have to take a stab at it.
This means these NTFS partitions are not mounted at boot. Are they partitions on your ‘internal disk’ or are they connected later using USB?
And yes, the output of
mount
will be very interesting.
BTW please put your computer output between CODE tags, then the lay-out will be preserved. Much easier to read.

Please tell us, is it sda1 or sda5 you want to access or both?
Also do you use kde or gnome?
I use KDE and would like to access sda5.
(On Windows, I have the C drive where Windows is installed and on the D drive I have the data stored. The sda5 partition corresponds to the D drive.)
In a su terminal do this
mkdir /data
close that terminal and open a regular one and do this
kdesu kwrite /etc/fstab
edit your file to look like this
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3120026A_5JT4AN43-part3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3120026A_5JT4AN43-part4 / ext4 acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/sda5 /data ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
see the line I added
save and then reboot
your sda5 will mount to /data
navigate to /data in dolphin and then add it to places
Works great! Thank you a lot for your help.
No problem - Enjoy;)
