Well that sucks, why would they do that. Sorry, I meant to type 2.4.21, typo. Is full NTFS support still experimental or something? It shouldn't be if it's in a release kernel and they are advertising it everywhere.

IIRC Suse's Advertising of it is that you can now resize as well as read an NTFS partition ... <proud parent moment>That is not only posible, it's been done. By a near newbie ( my kid did it ) Of course since she has good genes and also good sense , she diecided to use the ntfs partition more rationally , and deleted it w/ a reinstall of SUSE ;^)

I noted that "new feature" a few weeks back, but I can not find it on the SUSE site now 8-(

I know that and I didn't deny that :) I was specifically talking about r/w access to the filesystem! Resizing a filesystem and having read/write access to the filesystem, i.e. being able to delete, create and modify files *in* that filesystem are two different things that aren't directly related to each other.

Absolutely true. BUt ehy never advertised R/W access to NTFS file systems. I've just checked the box and several printed adverts, and none mention NTFS R/W.
