Question : How to mount NTFS partition on opensuse 12.2 ?

Answer :

First check the disk partitions to find ntfs partitions with fdsik utility

pirat9@linux-f2f1:~> sudo  /sbin/fdisk  -l
output:
Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes
 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders, total 1953525168 sectors
 Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
 Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
 I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
 Disk identifier: 0xdda1cb43
Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
 /dev/sda1            2048      206847      102400    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
 /dev/sda2          206848   204799999   102296576    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
 /dev/sda3       204800000  1740799999   768000000    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
 /dev/sda4   *  1740802046  1953523711   106360833    5  Extended
 /dev/sda5      1945714688  1953523711     3904512   82  Linux swap / Solaris
 /dev/sda6      1740802048  1835153407    47175680   83  Linux
 /dev/sda7      1835155456  1945712639    55278592   83  Linux

Now mount window partition to /opt/E example folder like

mkdir /opt/E
sudo mount  /dev/sda3  /opt/E

now list the partition

ls -altr  /opt/E

Example:

pirat9@linux-f2f1:~> ls /opt/E/
Akeeba        recovered-19-5-2012
askfix        $RECYCLE.BIN backup        Scans decoratie     Software
FAMILY_VIDEO System Volume Information FOTOS         The Three Musketeers (2011) DVDRip XviD-MAXSPEED Gentoo12.1   Torrents HTC Foto’s    VBOX Mail          Vmware New folder    wamp

The NTFS driver ntfs-3g is installed by default and write support is enabled for root only. Modify /etc/fstab line where is mentioned windows, parameter dmask=002 and parameter fmask=113 to enable user writing. For example:

#Device Mountpoint Filesystem Parameters

/dev/sda3 /media user,users,gid=users,fmask=113,dmask=002,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0

save and reboot to check

pirat9@linux-f2f1:~> df -k
Filesystem     1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs          47075092   6299324  38416984  15% /
devtmpfs         3052900        44   3052856   1% /dev
tmpfs            3061688       644   3061044   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs            3061688       748   3060940   1% /run
/dev/sda6       47075092   6299324  38416984  15% /
tmpfs            3061688         0   3061688   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs            3061688       748   3060940   1% /var/lock
tmpfs            3061688       748   3060940   1% /var/run
/dev/sda7       55169780   1550752  50855100   3% /home
/dev/sda3      767999996 263927828 504072168  35% /opt/E

You can always just use the ‘Partitioner’ tool which will easily allow to mount a NTFS partition, just remember to go into fstab options and allow users to be able to mount it.
