Public bug reported:
When I try to create a NTFS file system on a 5TB external USB drive
Control Center->Disks gets an error.
When I try with gParted it gets an error to the mkntfs -Q -v -F -L ''
'/dev/sdd1' command - Error in argument "-Q"
When I open a terminal window and use sudo mkntfs -v:5TB1 -F -L
'/dev/sdd1' command - Error in argument: "-F"
When I try robert@robert-ASUS-A88XM-A:~/Desktop$ sudo mkntfs -v:5TB1 -f -L
'/dev/sdd1'

It seems to work, but mounting the partition is iffy.
Is the reason that Control Center->Disks and gParted do not work is that
I have Paragon Software HFS+ and NTFS for Linux and hfsplus installed?
Do I need to remove them? As a last resort I can always format as ext4,
but then Windows will no be able to read the external drive.
