Priority Requester: Desirable Projectmanager: Desirable openSUSE-11.4: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Jigish Gohil (cyberorg) - Engineering Manager: Michele Casey (m1casey) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Taken from Bugzilla: Please provide a check box that says something like this: "Detect and mount all NTFS partitions Read-Write for all users" I do over 100 installations of openSUSE every month, all on PC that have windows installed, and manually changing it in /etc/fstab is bit tedious. Reproducible: Always Relations: - yast2 disk: easy way to mount all ntfs partitions rw (novell/bugzilla/id: 487126) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487126 Discussion: #1: Arvin Schnell (aschnell) (2009-03-23 11:53:17) Stefan, please make a feature request if you want this. #2: Duncan Mac-Vicar (dmacvicar) (2010-03-02 16:10:22) Evaluation copied from my storage guys: The current default is that only root has read-write access to all windows files. To change this, the user has to modify the fstab options of the Windows NTFS partition to allow read-write access for any user. Three things could be considered to be changed: * Change the default NTFS options in fstab, so that everyone has read- write access to Windows partition (this is IMHO not advisable, most people are probably fine with only having readonly access as ordinary users and need to be root to modify Windows files). * Add a button to "Settings" dialog of Expert Partitioner during installation so that the user can tell yast2 to mount all Windows partitions with read-write for ordinary users allowed. Question is if someone considers looking into this dialog. * Add a button "Read-Write access to ordinary users" to fstab options dialog of NTFS filesystem. This would help people who do not know about the meaning of "fmask" and "dmask" mount options to allow read-write access for everyone easier than currently. Stano, Matthias, Michal, please decide one. #3: Stanislav Visnovsky (visnov) (2010-03-02 16:51:56) (reply to #2) From my POV, only the 3rd option makes sense. #4: Wallacy Freitas (wallacyf) (2010-09-16 05:20:32) (reply to #2) I would choose the first option. I do not see the need to not enable writing to everyone. #5: Thomas Thym (ungethym) (2010-11-22 15:24:58) (reply to #4) Give the power to the people. The openSUSE target group is not aunt tilly. openSUSE users know what they are doing. But it is so annoying to change that manually. I clear preference is option one. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306437
