There is a "best practices" section. Cinnamon and Gnome default installs don't include autofs -- does KDE include it? I assume KDE Partition Manager uses one of these methods. Have a look at /etc/fstab. You may be able to copy the entry for Windows drive C, and adjust the UUID's and mount points to suit for the other drives. If there is nothing in /etc/fstab for Windows drive C then KDE likely uses autofs. That is "on demand", so KDE PM would have to issue a demand to actually mount the drive. -- George N. White III
