Hello,

I am trying to format a pendrive of 2TB(Purchased in China for ebay). What I do is the following:

1) I start the notebook with Linux 4.18.0-9
2) I start with my GNOME session
3) I connect the pendrive
4) I open Nautilus
5) The pendrive in nautilus appears as mounted
6) In nautilus I hit a right click with the mouse to my pedrive
7) I choose 'Format'
8) A window opens where I can only choose between: ext4, NTFS or FAT
9) I leave the default -> 'NTFS'
10) Next press
11) I change to the next window where the information of what is going to happen appears and I confirm the format
12) Then I return to nautilius
13) The pendrive appears in nautilus
14) It can not be accessed, even though the pendrive is mounted

Best regards,
