In KDE System Settings->Disks & Cameras->Device Auto-Mount->Attached
Devices is where I have specified to auto mount "On Login" and "On
Attach" for all 3 Windows partitions. I think I see what the issue
is,
then entry for Windows Drive C is the last entry in the list and
is the
only one being auto mounted, and I think the issue is the auto mount
process doesn't seem to like embedded blanks in the device name. The
device it is auto mounting is "Windows_C", whereas the two it
isn't auto
mounting are "Windows Drive D" and "Windows Drive E", I'll see if
I can
get gparted to relabel the partitions without destroying them and
see if
that resolves the issue.
The main question with this though is Dolphin can mount the two
Drive D
and Drive E partitions as the specified names, so why can't the
automount process?
I wonder if Dolphin mounts the D and E partitions using names
acceptable to
Linux and provides user-friendly names in the GUI. In a terminal you
can use
"mount -l -t <type>" ("<type>" is usually "ntfs") to see a list of all
mounted
Windows NTFS filesystems.
Dolphin was showing the partitions in the GUI (as it has always done) as
the label that was physically on the partition, and when they were
clicked on it mounted them under /run/media/<userid>/<label> and
displayed the contents of those partitions, as the automount process
does if the labels don't have embedded blanks.
I've now done away with the automount process and set the partitions up
in fstab as is used to in F42 and earlier, which removes the issues.
What I have still yet to check is whether the users option is honoured
(CIFS refuses to allow user mounts) and whether mount the partition as
Read/Write is honoured as well (there were situations in earlier release
of Fedora where that setting was ignored).
