I have a Western Digital 250GB USB drive formatted with NTFS. I use it interchangeably with my openSUSE boxes and a Windows XP work laptop.
When I plug it into my openSUSE laptop, it mounts fine and I can browse the contents (with Konqueror, for example). But it does not let me drag files to the drive because it does not mount the drive with ntfs-3g support by default.
Is it possible to have the drive mounted with ntfs-3g support automatically every time it's plugged in with it's own permanent mount point (like /mnt/wd/)? If so, how?
Thanks!
Try formatting it with Yast Partitioner and specifying a mount point.
And destroy all of his data on the disk???
Uh..... noooooooo..........
This will create an FSTAB entry, that always causes it to mount correctly.
In oS 10.3 all NTFS partitions are mounted using the ntfs-3g driver by default. If you are using 10.3, you may use YaST2 Disk module to just create the FSTAB entries for automatically mounting; you do not need to format partitions at all.
