Feature changed by: Duncan Mac-Vicar (dmacvicar) Feature #306437, revision 5 Title: yast2 disk: easy way to mount all ntfs partitions rw openSUSE-11.2: Rejected by Michael Löffler (michl19) reject date: 2009-08-11 15:55:31 reject reason: too late for 11.2, moved to 11.3 Priority Requester: Desirable openSUSE-11.3: Evaluation Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jigish Gohil (cyberorg) Description: Taken from Bugzilla: Please provide a check box that says something like this: "Detect and mount all NTFS partitions Read-Write for all users" I do over 100 installations of openSUSE every month, all on PC that have windows installed, and manually changing it in /etc/fstab is bit tedious. Reproducible: Always Relations: - yast2 disk: easy way to mount all ntfs partitions rw (novell/bugzilla/id: 487126) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487126 Discussion: #1: Arvin Schnell (aschnell) (2009-03-23 11:53:17) Stefan, please make a feature request if you want this. + #2: Duncan Mac-Vicar (dmacvicar) (2010-03-02 16:10:22) + Evaluation copied from my storage guys: + The current default is that only root has read-write access to all + windows files. To change this, the user has to modify the fstab options + of the Windows NTFS partition to allow read-write access for any user. + Three things could be considered to be changed: + * Change the default NTFS options in fstab, so that everyone has read- + write access to Windows partition (this is IMHO not advisable, most + people are probably fine with only having readonly access as ordinary + users and need to be root to modify Windows files). + * Add a button to "Settings" dialog of Expert Partitioner during + installation so that the user can tell yast2 to mount all Windows + partitions with read-write for ordinary users allowed. Question is if + someone considers looking into this dialog. + * Add a button "Read-Write access to ordinary users" to fstab options + dialog of NTFS filesystem. This would help people who do not know about + the meaning of "fmask" and "dmask" mount options to allow read-write + access for everyone easier than currently. + Stano, Matthias, Michal, please decide one. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306437
