Bugzilla – Bug 140135
USB-NTFS-partition mounted as "rw" and invalid "roprocuid"-option
Last modified: 2005-12-21 11:42:05 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.
