Everything you do from that point on just hangs, forever and requires terminating the app. This ofc isn't an issue on <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Windows" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows</a> (as far as I'm aware)/<a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/macOS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macOS</a> (nothing hangs or affected by it, it just reminds you to unmount it with the click of a button) - surely there's a fix for this on <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a><span>?<br><br>It's funny how mounting all sorts of storage options is our strength (on Linux), and yet it's also one of our biggest weakness when it comes to 'user-friendliness' - it's easy to miss as a long time Linux user, and yet still obvious.

Get ready to mess with </span><code>fstab</code> and updating mount permissions at least, if not also your boot options. Fortunately, formatting or partitioning a drive does not require the terminal (for the most part), but you also can't do so right from your file manager - needing a separate, dedicated app.</p>
