I have an external USB SSD drive that I mainly lives plugged into the TV in the living room for bulk media, and from time to time I take it and connect it to my desktop, a Debian 12, stable, system running KDE.
Without any entries in ``/etc/fstab``, it mounts as ``/media/$USER/<ntfs-volume-label>`` when mounted from the desktop UI (with from the tray icon or from Dolphin.) I, however, wanted to have a different mount point, ``/media/tv-media-ssd``, so I added an entry to ``/etc/fstab``, and after a bit of testing and comparing to the original ``/etc/mtab`` line, here is what mounts fine from the UI (tray, Dolphin):
But before that, I had tried the ``user`` and also the ``users`` (note the pluralization) which for some reason ``fuseblk`` and ``udisks2``, respectively did not like.
Mounting from desktop with ``user`` option:Mounting from desktop with ``users`` option instead:Mounting from desktop with neither ``user`` nor ``users`` options:The main reason I am wondering (aside from just curiosity) is that ``user``/``users`` allowed typing ``mount /media/tv-media-ssd`` from the command line sans ``sudo``. While it is no big deal at all to type that with ``sudo``, and since I use this drive mostly from Dolphin any how, I want to understand why those options aren't playing well, mainly ``users`` and ``udisks2``, as ``user`` appears to not be supported by ``fuseblk``, though I have found conflicting information on that. If those options simply aren't supported there, I can certainly live with that; GUI and ``sudo mount`` are more than enough. Either way I am very interested to learn what is going on there.
Any insights are graciously appreciated.
