Been running the new eos for about a week. The other day i inserted an older usb drive in computer and the file mgr could not mount it. It then offered to try to fix drive. I chose to try and apparently it did cause it then mounted drive. Is this a new feature?
At first I was thinking it was a EOS feature, but maybe it s all Dolphin…
never heard of a file manager offering fix-a-mount services but that’s neither here nor there….I don’t use KDE and can’t answer if this is a new Dolphin feature.
I can confirm it is a thing. When I mount a microSD card I use in one specific device (professional sound recording equipment), Plasma prompts me to let it try and fix the file-system. I let it, and things work 
It’s certainly not happening to most devices though, just the odd one.
something is triggering the fix, something “odd” as you say. like incorrect info or metadata from the peripheral drive etc. interesting. not holding my breath for Nemo 
Yeah it wouldn’t seem to be a crucial issue. The sound recording equipment had no issue with the media and the data on there has always been in perfect condition.
So as you say, perhaps just some metadata or similar, a bit of house keeping, more than anything critical.
I had thought it was ntfs, but I checked the drive, and it is ext4. I never have errors with an ext4 drive. Anyway, when I plug in any external drive, the sys tray; Disks & Devices dialog pops up, and gives options I have never seen previously. I chose, Mount and Open, and it detected error, and then fixed it after I clicked fix it. I m curious what error it detected now, and what it did to “fix” it.
Me too
