RE: [SLE] SuSE 9.0 NTFS Read/Write
Correct. SUSE 9.0 only supports READ to NTFS partitions. Write support isn't supported - yet. SUSE is using the latest NTFS driver. for more info check out http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/ for FAQs, etc.

SuSE 9.0 uses v2.4.20 of the linux kernel with 2.6 optimizations. Read/write NTFS support is built into the 2.6 kernel. Check here under "Filesystems" http://www.kniggit.net/wwol26.html . And I was almost positive that NTFS read/write support was one of the 2.6 optimizations that SuSE added to the kernel. Everywhere I have been reading says that SuSE 9.0 has full NTFS support and I believe it even stated so in the Changelog that was displayed after the installation was complete. But I don't know why it isn't working.

SuSE 9.0 uses the 2.4.21 kernel , but in the default config RW support is disabled. see % zcat /proc/config.gz | grep NTFS CONFIG_NTFS_FS=m # CONFIG_NTFS_DEBUG is not set # CONFIG_NTFS_RW is not set So if you want NTFS RW support you will have to rebuild your kernel. (or install the 2.6 kernel). In both cases you are at your own. Caveat kernel hacker and all that.
