Barry,
Also if that Fedora install has the rpmfusion repos (both free and
nonfree) enabled then exfat is no longer an issue.. install the needed
bits with:
'sudo dnf install exfat-utils fuse-exfat -y'
If you lack the rpmfusion repos run this command FIRST:
'dnf install
https://download1.rpmfus
There is an exFat driver in fuse.

WD ships the drive formated as exFAT, which will not mount on fedora.
Reformat as NTFS and fedora will mount the drive.
Beware that default while formating an option external drive in winodws 10
seemed to be exFAT.
I just went through this with a 4TB drive.

Everyone,
Thank you all for your help. I had to put my problem on hold until I
had time to digest all you advice. I almost got a sledge hammer out,
but restrained myself.
The problem turned out to be related to the using the front usb ports
instead of the usb ports on the back of the machine as

Hi,
This situation sounds a lot like the problems I had when I went from 2tb drives
to 3tb -> 6tb drives connected via USB 2/3 to docking stations. 2tb drives
worked well. 3tb drives were all screwed up. It turns out that the firmware in
the Kwin dual drive docking station could NOT support > 2

My guess is your cable has that USB 3.0 micro 10-pin connector to the
drive at one end, and possibly two USB type A connectors for the

Don't know if it would make a difference, but are you plugging it into a USB3
port? My lab got new machines about a year and half ago, and I knew
machines had USB 3 ports, so I hooked up a 1.5TB usb disk, and got very
slow results. Turned out that only 2 of the 6 USB ports are USB 3, others are

I would check if you have the ntfs support installed.
rpm -qa | grep ntfs
Should have the ntfs-3g installed, probable don't need ntfsprogs, but I use
them.
