[opensuse] Can't mount external USB drive
When I try to plug in my external USB Western Digital harddrive that's been formatted with NTFS, I get the following error message (using dmesg): <snip> usb-storage: device scan complete NTFS-fs error (device sdc1): parse_options(): Unrecognized mount option locale. NTFS-fs warning (device sdc1): parse_options(): Option utf8 is no longer supported, using option nls=utf8. Please use option nls=utf8 in the future and make sure utf8 is compiled either as a module or into the kernel. VMBlock warning: DentryOpRevalidate: invalid args from kernel VMBlock warning: DentryOpRevalidate: invalid args from kernel VMBlock warning: DentryOpRevalidate: invalid args from kernel NTFS-fs error (device sdc1): parse_options(): Unrecognized mount option locale. NTFS-fs warning (device sdc1): parse_options(): Option utf8 is no longer supported, using option nls=utf8. Please use option nls=utf8 in the future and make sure utf8 is compiled either as a module or into the kernel. Do I need to recompile my kernel as suggested above just to automount a USB drive that I plug in?? If not, what needs to be done to get this working "out-of-the-box"?

Thanks.
Answering my own question.... Adding a link in /sbin as follows allows me to now automount the drive: ln -s mount.ntfs-3g mount.ntfs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I think it is a bug in KDE.

ln -s mount.ntfs-3g mount.ntfs
Very interesting. I'd sugest you write a bugzilla with this info. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

However, in my fresh install, /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g is already a symlink to /bin/ntfs-3g. Ed -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
