Description Thomas Bitschnau 2005-12-19 14:14:46 UTC 
I installed SuSE 10.0 having my Maxtor 160GB externel usb-harddiskdrive turned on. SuSE created the following /etc/fstab entry:

/dev/sda1            /mnt/usbhdd              ntfs       defaults              0 0

Which leads to the following used options:

/dev/sda1 on /media/usbhdd type subfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,fs=ntfs,roprocuid,nls=utf8)

Mounting a NTFS-partition read-writable is fine, as long as you do not try to write something on it.
Also the option "roprocuid" is not valid. I guess this should be "ro,procuid", which leads to "rw" and "ro" in one line.

Output of dmesg is then:

NTFS-fs error (device sda1): parse_options(): Unrecognized mount option roprocuid.
subfs: unsuccessful attempt to mount media (256)

Removing the /fstab/entries solves the problem. I don't know where they came from, because they were not created again.

Closed.
