Why can I only mount external disk via CLI? ["SOLVED"]

System is Arch Linux. NTFS-3G is installed. I have had this problem on Gnome (Nautilus) and KDE (Dolphin). I already tried fixing it with Testdisk. No success. Any help is appreciated.

UPDATE: I have re-formatted the disk and it is working now. Thank you for all your suggestions and tips.

  • I have no idea what that GUI thing is you're using to do the mount, but I note that the CLI and the GUI are not using the same mountpoint. Is it possibly the case that the directory /mnt/storage2 exists but /run/media/void/2TB does not?
