The ro does not seem to make any difference as I have tried it with and without for the ntfs. kfd works with the ntfs and usb2 or firewire. Will try your suggestion for the reiserfs partitions. Art Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto wrote:
Art,
if you got the same problem using USB 2.0 and Firewire, then you can exclude a firewire problem. Does the kdf also work with USB 2.0? Anyway, I've noticed some points about your /etc/fstab below:

: Got another drive kit with USB2 & Firewire and tried the same disk drive in the USB2. Same thing as with firewire drive, it just comes up with different mount point in /media.. A work colleague has Mepis installed, and he tried it, it works great also as firewire. I downloaded the KDiskFree (kdf), which Mepis uses, and installed it. Now I can mount and access the ntfs partition, but when doing the reiserfs partition, it says it is already mounted. Guess I need to figure out how to stop it from the automatic mounting somehow.
Kernel is the default Suse kernel after yast online update.

The ro option is not necessary, unless you change the kernel. By default the ntfs driver doesn't allow writing. What happens if you remove the umask option ?
/dev/sda6 /Firewire/linux reiserfs noauto,uid=afore,gid=users 0 0
You should not use the uid and gid options with reiserfs. I'm sorry if I've gave you this impression. By the way, I was having a problem yesterday, just because of this. After removing the uid and gid it started working again! :-( Hope this helps.
