Now that my office Desktop machine is OpenSUSE 10.2 I would like to have automounting of USB drives formated with NTFS use the NTFS-3G fuse driver in read/write mode automatically.

I think this is in the bowels of udev which I've never played with. Is there a simple way to change the default mount mechanism?

Try defining a line for each particular usb disk you use in the fstab file, using "/dev/disk/by-id/" entries or equivalent. I don't have ntfs partitions, so I can't give you an exact sample line, but I think it will do what you want.

I don't think that will work. We buy a couple hundred drives a year in the lab I work in. (Much less enclosures.) On any given day I might be putting any one of those drives in an enclosure and connecting it to my machine. FYI: Up to 3 or 4 months ago we were formatting most of the drives FAT, but with NTFS-3G seeming to be solid, we have moved to NTFS on newly formated drives. Please - no suggestions of using ext2/3. We have to have compatibility with lots of machines and outside clients/vendors. I hate to say it, but NTFS is the only truly portable filesystem besides FAT. And FAT just lacks too many features.
