Changing partition file permissions

[Unseen-Ghost]

Hey guys,

I created a new NTFS partition through Windows on the unpartitioned space on my hard drive, and I successfully mounted it under OpenSUSE using the Expert Partitioner, but I’m having trouble with the permissions for the folder. The folder is under the ownership of the root user, which I am, but when I try to change the permissions of the folder, they automatically reset to the default permissions. The problem is that the default permissions only allow users to read, and not write. I tried both changing it through Nautilus and the terminal, but still the problem persists. Any ideas?

Thank you for the help!

(OpenSUSE 11.1)

Check out NTFS - openSUSE
It basically describes that you need to add “umask=0002” to fstab, this can be done via Partioner (part of default install).

If you do it manually you need to the reread the file by either rebooting or executing mount -a as root.

Thank you! That did the trick.
