[opensuse] Windows mount is ReadOnly
Hi, SuSE 10.2 is mounting my Windows file system read only ( fstab shows ro,users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0). Is there any reason for this? I want to be able to write files in that partition. If that was the case would I need to do anything else except knock out the 'ro' element? alan lenton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Definitely not wise to change from ro. NTFS is not your typical filesystem, and it's only been recently that Linux has been able to write to NTFS with any measure of reliability. If you were to change the ro to rw, and then managed to write something to the NTFS partition, you more than likely wouldn't have a readable NTFS partition anymore. There is the NTFS-3G project http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ that have a stable way to write to NTFS. I've never been brave enough to try it on any NTFS partitions, so I cannot vouch for how good this driver really is... maybe someone here has played with it though, and can comment on it. I believe that the NTFS-3G driver is in the Packman repositories... I think I've seen it there...

Thats the fiction. What grounds would they have to sue if there were no Microsoft IP in Linux? or vise-versa? Not suing and therefore not defending your IP constitutes a defacto license.

The way used to I do this was relatively simple... My Linux partitions are Reiser, my XP partition was NTFS. Linux can read NTFS with no problems... so on the rare occasion I needed to snag a file from the XP partition, I can. On the other hand if I happened to be booted to Windows (err.. something I haven't done in ages) I had a small util installed there that could read Reiser partitions... so I could copy from the Linux partitions to the NTFS partitions.

No, Windows drives get mounted under /windows, so this would be mounted on /windows/d.

Interesting I dug into XP(Home)'s help on mounting drives and it said that you can use any unused folder. I've been tempted to set up a separate partition for all the user documents, kind of like a /home, and see if I can get this to fly under XP. I'm afraid that this would take some heavy kludging on my part and outright snarf everything at a re-install. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It's not as easy in Windows, as in Linux (so what else is new) and IIRC, the procedure for "My Documents" is different from other folders. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi, I have not only played with it, but I use it without any problem for months. As I reported here earlier, it works fine and I use it instead of FAT since I use files larger than 4GB.

Well, if you have the space or you can do with a few megs les on your harddisk for "serious" Linux and Windows usage, a safe bet WITHOUT any util or any driver would be to use FAT32 on the file exchange partition. This IS conservative, but it works either side with no problems, at least in my experience. kind regards Eberhard

This could be two things, one it wasn't actually set up for read/write permissions, and two: it's an NTFS partition, which on my 10.2 install defaulted to read only.
