I have been able to use usb hard drives formated with NTFS in (r/w) mode for quite a while in SuSE 9.3. Why dont you check the mounts and see if that it works for you? I was able to do it with the Yast2 partitoner util and with dosfsck , especially with the SD cards. Again, I am NOT using DOS16 or DOS32 but NTFS and reiserfs with usb 2.0 hard drives with no problems reading AND writing to the hard drives. Just don't forget to sync 3x prior to pulling usb cables.

Folks,

I'm trying to install Captive-NTFS to allow me to have a writable NTFS file system.

I'm having a great deal of difficulty in doing this.

Captive-ntfs is installed but it's complaining that LUFS isn't running. When I try running prepmod I get the following errors:

/usr/include/asm/hw_irq.h:28: error: `NR_IRQ_VECTORS' undeclared here (not in a function) /usr/include/asm/hw_irq.h:32: error: `NR_IRQS' undeclared here (not in a function) Failed to prepare lufs.ko module for your Linux kernel 2.6.11.4-20a-default. Detected Linux kernel sources "/lib/modules/2.6.11.4-20a-default/build" do not appear to be valid.

It seems to want an rpm called kernel-headers-2.6.<xx>, but I can't find that anywhere, I've looked at ftp.suse.com with no luck. I even tried downloading the lufs source and compiling it but the autoconf configuration file complains about no kernel headers.

Anyone know where these kernel headers are? i'm running Suse 9.3 professional edition on an AMD 64 Athlon.

Thanks,
