Description Firestar-Reimu 2022-10-11 03:30:10 UTC

Apart from dolphin, partitionmanager does not support ntfs3 too and says:

```
cannot mount filesystem in /dev/nvme0n1p3

mount --verbose /dev/nvme0n1p3 /home/xxx/C
```

And I have set this:

```
cat /etc/udisks2/mount_options.conf

[defaults]
ntfs_defaults=uid=$UID,gid=$GID
```

but still the bug exists.

What's the error if you run mount command manually?

Partition Manager seems to be running mount --verbose /dev/nvme0n1p3 /home/xxx/C which looks to me like a correct command.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NTFS

The correct mount should be:

```
# mount -t ntfs3 /dev/nvme0n1p3 /home/xxx/C
```

if there is a mounting bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445468

If you have udisks2 2.9.4+, as a temporary fix you can create the file /etc/udisks2/mount_options.conf with the following contents:

[defaults]
ntfs_defaults=uid=$UID,gid=$GID

and you'll be set.

Argh, this is a mess on the ntfs side...

Partition Manager was indeed relying on mount command to be smart enough to pick file system type.

One could add -t ntfs3 but then that would break support for people who have older kernels. Though maybe 5.15 is getting old enough to be in most places.
