Many of you will be aware of the fact that some file systems are blacklisted by default on openSUSE. With the forthcoming update of suse-module-tools, the list of disabled file systems will grow:
f2fs, hfsplus, jfss2, kafs, ntfs3, orangefs, pstore, romfs, and zonefs
will then be blacklisted, too. This means that the respective kernel modules will not be auto-loaded, and that the system won't be able to access media with such file systems immediately when they are inserted.
To override this, run "sudo modprobe $FS_MODULE" in a terminal. You will have the option to load the module just once, or un-blacklist it for future use.
I've created https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:FilesystemBlacklisting with more details and a rationale.
Regards Martin Hello
f2fs, hfsplus, jfss2, kafs, ntfs3, orangefs, pstore, romfs, and zonefs
Unless I am mistaken, ntfs3 kmod is needed to mount NTFS then why would we blacklist it? Preventing anyone from reading/wrtiting Windows disks by default is honestly a lunar idea, especially if you want new users to onboard the distro from Windows I would love to hear the reasoning about blacklisting that (considering we do not blacklist apfs for ex.)
