I’m using openSUSE 11.0 and want to use a NTFS 320GB USB Disk with it. At the moment I plug in the device and can see it automatically mounted at /media/Volume.
But I don’t have writeaccess to it and I need it!
I did some research, but I didn’t find any information about this issue.
I followed the information at the site NTFS - openSUSE
→ Automatisches Einbinden externer Festplatten mit NTFS Schreibunterstützung
but I didn’t have any success?!?!?! :’(
I know the description is for V10.3, but I’m new and naive and thougt the difference from 10.3 -> 11.0 isn’t to big. :sarcastic:
With the command:
ntfs-3g -o rw,gid=users,umask=0002 /dev/sdb1 /mnt
I can it mount writeable!
Is anybody out there who had the same problem and can give me some hints to solve my problem?
Hi,
thank you for your answere, but I don’t get it running.
I tested your symlink, but there was no difference.
I get a Dialog with the messages what I like to do ‘Start Dolphin…’ ‘Look for Pictures’ or ‘Do nothing’.
When I select the Dolphin entry I get the message:
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Unknown.Failure: TODO: have to rethink extra options
I have no Idea, what I’m doing wrong.
When starting with ntfs-config, I can do a mount with full accessrights.
But I would appreciate to do the stuff with the automount.
hi,
try to edit file /etc/fstab
add there line with options for your hdd,
or if the line is already there simply add to options rw,users,uid=<your user id(usualy 1000 for the first user)>
I don’t think you are doing anything wrong. I know you stated you are running openSUSE-11.0, but I’ve only seen this error on 11.1 beta. Hence it reads to me that you are running openSUSE-11.1 beta, and this is not working with the beta software. Did you add “factory” to your repos to cause this?
You can still manually mount the drives to read/write (which is very quick to do) but you will need to spend the time to learn and understand the linux commands.
