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
