Mount an NTFS partition in writing with OpenSUSE

Nessun commento » Open Source , System , Tips & Tricks No Comments »

After installing OpenSUSE 11.0 on one of my portable workstation, I realized that access to the two NTFS partitions reserved for Windows, you can write only for root. Quick look at the file / etc / fstab to find out that it is a choice of default openSUSE installer, a choice that is undoubtedly dictated by reasons of safety, but that is just as easy to circumvent. It is sufficient to modify the values ​​as follows fmask and dmask in the same file / etc / fstab:

 
 # / Dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_FUJITSU_MHV2100_NS91T5B26UKA-part2 / windows / D ntfs-3g users, gid = users, fmask = 133, dmask = 022, locale = en_US.UTF-8 0 0

 / Dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_FUJITSU_MHV2100_NS91T5B26UKA-part2 / windows / D ntfs-3g users, gid = users, fmask = 113, dmask = 002, locale = en_US.UTF-8 0 0 

In the example I commented out the original line (always do too: you never know ...) and I changed the value of fmask from 133 to 113 and to 022 to 002 from dmask. In this way, the write access is granted not only all'owner the filesystem, but also to all users of the users group.

Without this, remember to unmount and remount the file system for changes to take effect immediately:

# umount /windows/D
# mount /windows/D

Still controversy on Nanga Parbat

Nessun commento » Log book , Reflections (oni) No Comments »

This morning I read with some surprise outburst of Agostino Da Polenza published Montagna.TV because I was now certain that the carousel of the controversy that erupted during and after recovery of Walter and Simon from Nanga Parbat had finally exhausted. The editorial by Grasso titled "Live on Death," published in the latest issue of the Magazine in effect does not add or detract from what you've already read about the dramatic events of last July. It seems contrary to the result of a thought too late to be perfectly honest, especially considering the scontatezza Grasso's thesis: the rescue of July would be an event packed ad hoc by the media for the simple fact that the media if they are occupied widely. Fat alludes, as others long before him, the fact that sending the helicopter was not motivated by a real need, but rather by the need to make it even more spectacular return of Walter and Simon.
