Is ntfs-3g still risky?
As much as risky as reading/writting any other filesystem, all software has bugs which are part of their very nature.
It should work just fine ;-)
So, I had used ntfs-3g to enable writing (I haven't yet worked out the mysteries of fstab). I brought up Dolphin in superuser mode to change the owner from root to john in appropriate places. Indicates success. Close Dolphin, bring up Konqueror and look. No change. Owner and group are still root. Just on the off chance that something might be wrong with my understanding of what Dolphin did, I go the the command line; ls -l says owner and group are root. Chown from the command line; indicates success. ls -l says owner and group are root. Despair. So, I bring up ntfs-3g again; it says the partition is writable (I'd done that yesterday before chickening out and asking here). Try again with Konqueror: now I can drag files from my linux account to my xp account (yesterday I didn't have permission). Konqueror and ls still say the partition and all its contents belong to root:root. I'm using my home account. Strange. Now all I have left to do is reboot to my xp account and see if my additions are really and truly there. Both Konqueror and ls say they are. jp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
