I used KDE Partition Manager to set a custom mount location for an NTFS partition. The /etc/fstab file was then saved with the filesystem type NTFS in uppercase. When I rebooted, Kubuntu failed to mount the partition during boot so I pressed S to skip as instructed. I then opened Dolphin to try to mount and got this error message: mount: unknown filesystem type 'NTFS' I then edited /etc/fstab manually with nano and changed NTFS to ntfs (from uppercase to lowercase), rebooted again, and it mounted just fine. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create NTFS partition with KDE Partition Manager 2. Use KDE Partition Manager to mount the partition in a custom location so that /etc/fstab is modified. 3. Try to mount the partition (rebooting might be necessary, I don't know) Actual Results: The partition is not mounted due to this error message: mount: unknown filesystem type 'NTFS' Expected Results: The system should have tried to mount filesystem type 'ntfs' (lowercase) rather than 'NTFS' (uppercase).
Seems to work fine in 2.0. There is still a bug that hides Ok/Cancel buttons in mount dialog but it is already fixed (just not released yet)
I just had a similar problem. Using partitionmanager 3.3.1 I set a NTFS partition to be automounted, then I restarted the computer and the boot process failed, telling me it was unable to mount that partition. I was given a rescue console, from which I opened /etc/fstab, and saw that my partition's filesystem was written uppercase (NTFS), but the other ones were lowercase (btrfs). I changed it to lowercase ntfs, and the system was able to boot normally again.
