[Bug 1780685] Re: gParted uses invalid -Q and -v flags from mkntfs

[Robert Pearson]

Curtis Gedak,

Thank you for the response.

When I run 
dpkg -l | grep ntfs-3g

ii  libntfs-3g88                          1:2017.3.23-2                         amd64        read/write NTFS driver for FUSE (runtime library)
ii  ntfs-3g                               1:2017.3.23-2                         amd64        read/write NTFS driver for FUSE

 I get the following which agrees with your results.

However when I run
man mkntfs it does not show -Q as a valid option. It does show -q for quiet. My version is
mkntfs --version
mkntfs (Jul  6 2018 17:52:56)
UFSD
Paragon Software Group

Apparently the Paragon Software has replaced the standard command. If
the Paragon Software actually worked on my system, I would use it.
However it does not work. This is probably the source of the errors in
the gParted script.

Title:
  gParted uses invalid -Q and -v flags from mkntfs

Status in gparted package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I use gParted to try and create new ntfs file system it uses the
  command: mkntfs -Q -V -F -L 'Win10' '/dev/sdc4' and get Error in
  argument: "-Q". I open terminal window and omit the -Q option and
  place the name after the -v option ( -v:Win10 ) and change the -F to
  -f, then it works.
