Hi,
On a newly built desktop with Manjaro KDE(fully updated).
I have a 4TB HDD hard drive installed, but Dolphin file manager does not see it?
The 4TB HDD drive is listed in the desktop’s BIOS.
Any ideas?
Jesse
Bro, whats the desktop’s BIOS?
The BIOS of your Desktop PC, i guess?
Checked the entry in the fstab? Can you mount it?
Or more basic, do you see the HDD in the Partition Manager?
Have you created a partition and formated with an filesystem?
format it in Kde Partitionsmanager with an GPT Table and ext4 or other file system
execute this;
sudo fdisk -l
and post output
check in UEFI motherboard that all disks are on AHCI
Hi,
This is a brand new 4TB HDD which I thought I formatted in EXT4 with LUKS encryption.
Please see below screenshot, thanks!
Jesse
you’ve partitioned only 2 of 4.
~ disk -l ✔
zsh: correct 'disk' to 'gdisk' [nyae]? y
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.9
Problem opening -l for reading! Error is 2.
The specified file does not exist!

Apologies,
fdisk -l
Note: the f in fdisk.
~ fdisk -l ✔

Hmmm, it should give you much more than those 3 lines. Try:
sudo fdisk -l
~ sudo fdisk -l ✔
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System

#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

It seems it is there, might just not be mounted. Please provide the output of:
mount

sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda

You must give the drive (partition) a mount point and mount options.
You can do that with the KDE partitions manager.
Am i the only one ticking at the KDE Partition Manager not recognizing the partition’s file system?
No, you’re not. I just wanted to confirm what I saw first.
My next idea was to ensure it’s empty, and unmounted. Then removing the partition and recreating it. To make sure everything’s good. Then mounting it.

Not sure what I did, but it works now, thanks!
