I recently got a 16TB USB disk and was trying to mount it on Fedora 40 using spacefm. I get the following:
Mount /dev/sdb:
Status: Finished with error (Exit status 1).
Object /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sdb is not a mountable file system.
My first instinct was that I got taken for a ride so I hopped over to a colleague's Windoze machine, but there the USB drive is visible (with the capacitty of 15.2 GiB, as expected).
So, is there anything special that I have to do to mount it on Fedora 40, because of its size?
Thank you for any suggestions, and best wishes,
Ranjan
Some time ago (I don't recall when), I had a thread in this list in which I wanted to know how to check if a USB drive has the claimed capacity. I was directed to:
f3 ("https://fight-flash-fraud.readthedocs.io/en/stable/#";)
and
f3probe ("https://fight-flash-fraud.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage.html#id6";).
f3probe is a part of f3, as is f3read and f3write.
f3 is available via dnf, if you don't already have it.
These might be useful for checking that the drive really has the capacity it claims to have. I found them useful.
Beyond that, others in this list are much more qualified to help.
