Feature changed by: Greg Freemyer (gregfreemyer) Feature #310155, revision 9 Title: Add support for reading and writing to NTFS, using NTFS-3G. openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Genix Info (genixinfo) Description: Add support for reading and writing to NTFS, using NTFS-3G. This feature is already available in Parted Magic ( http://partedmagic.com/ (http://partedmagic.com/) ), and also on other Linux distributions. About support for NTFS in Linux, using NTFS-3G: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS-3G (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS-3G) http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-download/ (http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-download/) Discussion: #1: ron neilly (rjneilly) (2010-07-18 21:02:45) This is already in the openSUSE distribution in the oss repository. v11.1 ships with ntfs-3g-1.5012-2.15 v11.2 ships with ntfs-3g-2009.4.4-3.1 v11.3 ships with ntfs-3g-2010.3.6-1.12 So what makes you think it needs to be added? #2: Genix Info (genixinfo) (2010-07-19 04:57:12) (reply to #1) On openSUSE Linux 11.3 (Final), has installed the ntfs-3g, the more it happens, that only works on ntfs reading, writing and does not work on ntfs partitions. My suggestion and comes with support for reading and writing to ntfs partitions using ntfs-3g. #3: Genix Info (genixinfo) (2010-07-19 05:00:00) To summarize: OpenSUSE Linux 11.3 (Final), makes reading NTFS, does more writing to NTFS. #4: Genix Info (genixinfo) (2010-07-19 05:08:00) Parted Magic makes reading and writing to NTFS and openSUSE Linux only makes reading my suggestion and that the openSUSE Linux, support reading and writing to NTFS, as Parted Magic has been doing. #5: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) (2010-07-19 05:49:49) (reply to #4) As has been pointed out clearly in comment #1, both reading from and writing to an NTFS file system works out of the box from openSUSE 11.0 onwards. Please consult the wiki or google before opening a FATE request. http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NTFS #6: Genix Info (genixinfo) (2010-07-19 08:44:54) (reply to #5) I understand. But what happens is that I have a dual-boot setup where I have openSUSE Linux 11.3 (Final), along with Windows 7, the same computer, I only have access to reading and writing to NTFS as the root user, I wanted to be given access as a user (not root) as well, or, for security reasons, write access to NTFS partitions could be easy, I would only have to enter the root password in manager File (Konqueror, or whatever.) via a shortcut, and ready, then I would read and write to NTFS, so quick and easy. + #7: Greg Freemyer (gregfreemyer) (2010-07-20 01:14:13) (reply to #6) + I think you need to close this entry, then hash out what you really + want somewhere else, then if needed at all re-open a new fate entry. + I don't have a dual boot setup handy, but I think all your asking for + is a different fstab entry. + If true, it should be easy for you to do for a one-off solution. And + once you have it fugured out you can create a new fate entry asking for + the default fstab entry for ntfs partitions to be set per your + findings. + + -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310155
