What version of the "ntfs-3g" package are you using? To learn which version use the following command (with sample output):
$ dpkg -l | grep ntfs-3g ii libntfs-3g88 1:2017.3.23-2 amd64 read/write NTFS driver for FUSE (runtime library) ii ntfs-3g 1:2017.3.23-2 amd64 read/write NTFS driver for FUSE $ Using this 2017.3.23-2 version I can successfully create NTFS file systems. The command gparted successfully ran on my Ubuntu 18.04 virtual machine was: mkntfs -Q -v -F -L '' '/dev/sdb2' When I use the command "man mkntfs" on my VM it indicates that "-Q" is a valid parameter to indicate a quick (fast) format. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1780685 Title: gParted uses invalid -Q and -v flags from mkntfs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/1780685/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
