I have openSUSE 11.0 installed... its not mounting ntfs drives automatically... when I tried to mount it manually, only root can access the mounted drives.... how do mount ntfs drives in read/write mode for every user?

I heard the problem will be solved by installing some ntfs-3g driver... does it comes with openSUSE DVD???

Add the OSS repository to your YaST and then install ntfs-config through YaST

Then run ntfs-config and setup your drives through that
problem Solved

ntfs-3g was already der... problem solved by adding a few lines in /etc/fstab

I said ntfs-config READ CAREFULLY
ntfs-config adds those few lines for you automatically
