Description KDE Neon user 2016-06-29 18:05:24 UTC
kcm_deviceautomounter lets us mount drivers automatically, but it doesn't add the hide_hid_files parameter to hide files hidden by Windows (such as the "System Volume Information" folder).

/etc/fstab can be edited manually to add a new entry for the partition with the hide_hid_files parameter, but it'd be nice to have an option on the GUI for that, so that non-advanced users don't break Linux while trying to hide NTSC system files not to break Windows.

Reproducible: Always
