Title: make my read only ntfs read-write in opensuse 11.0
Post by: joris20 on May 11, 2009, 01:19:08 PM

i know theres a load of info about it on the net, but i don't get it at all :S
the clearest manual said i had to edit my fstab file and add -rw instead of -ro in the options section, but there is no indication about an options section and -ro doesnt appear in the file ???

how do i do this? (my ntfs with windows XP on it is automatically mounted at boot)

thanks!

Not all Linux distros have the requisite tools to write to NTFS partitions.  Which distribution are you using?
