Programmer 2009-10-05 02:14:22 MDT --- http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#useroption2 Why don’t the ‘user’ and ‘users’ options work in /etc/fstab? The ‘mount’ command doesn’t invoke the ntfs-3g binary with the needed privilege after it has checked and approved the user is entitled to mount a given device on a specified mount point, hereby the user can’t open the device he got the approval in /etc/fstab. This is a problem in the ‘mount’ utility. Solution: Use at least NTFS-3G 1.2506 with setuid-root set and make sure the user has access rights to the volume and mount point. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm test driving the KDE 4 LiveCD Build 0339 on my system. It is installed on an enternal USB drive formatted with ext4 so that my current setup is unaffected. When I plug in an external USB drive formatted with NTFS, I get no response from KDE's device notifier, the new drive does not appear in device notifier, no dialogue box pops up and the drive does not appear in the "My Computer" konqueror screen. However, the drive does appear as /dev/sdc on connection. Creating the symlink as described in comment #7 does not remedy the situation. Automounting external media formatted with NTFS worked in 10.3 (although if memory serves, it was read-only) but it has been broken since 11.0. Please can we have this fixed by 11.2 GM? In 11.0 GM (my current setup) and in 11.2 RC2, I can still manually mount NTFS drives in the command line by doing the following: su mkdir /media/DriveName ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /media/DriveName I'm not a linux expert but I'm not new to it either so if you want help on this and it is something I can do, just ask, as I'd like to get involved.

As per comment #13, I disagree with the priority of this bug being set to "P5 - None". If all external USB storage devices were not automatically mounted on hot-plugging, I'm sure everyone would consider this a major problem. However, as this problem seems to be restricted only to storage devices using the NTFS file-system, I do not think it is any less severe. It amounts to the same thing for owners of NTFS formatted storage media. Many storage devices are supplied pre-formatted with NTFS. Many people also use microsoft operating systems in addition to linux operating systems and will have storage devices formatted with NTFS and want these devices to be inter-operable with these OSes. If this bug is not fixed prior to final release, it will prevent many non-technical users of Suse from using their computing equipment as they require. The facilities to resolve this already exist in Suse (ntfs-3g) and indeed it used to work without problem in 10.3 but has been broken since 11.0. In addition, I for one find this bug extremely annoying, it should just work. On installation, dual booters can configure their Suse system to mount any NTFS partitions in their internal drives, so it is a poor situation that they cannot auto-mount external NTFS drives. If you need any assistance with resolving this, please say and I'll be right here for you. However, I am only slightly technical, so I would know where to start in trying to resolve this myself, I'd need a hint on where to start looking but may be able to compare the code from 10.3 and 11.2 relating to this problem to see where the problem is. As per info on the link in comment #13, I'll be setting SHIP_STOPPER flag on this bug to "?" as I feel very strongly that it needs attention. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'll try mounting from dolphin but drives with other file systems just mount on connection, no dolphin required. Looks like this problem is not restricted to x86_64 hardware as per the platform selection of this report. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
