no NTFS volumes visible in Ejectify #69

I installed ejectify. It seems to work because the eject symbol is in the bar, but it can't find my disk (no volumes) although a samsung t7 ssd is connected. Its formatted in NTFS, using the program Tuxera Disk Manager Version 2023.1, working on Sonoma 14.2.1. Does anyone have an idea how to get the disk visible for ejectify?

How is the SSD connected?

antonriemersma commented 6 months ago

its directly connected by usb - c. Could it be because it's formatted in NTFS? I have connected 2 other memory cards (mac os uitgebreid & exfat)and they are visible in the menu.

I think it is. They're likely software-initiated and/or non-physical volumes, and Ejectify's source code filters them out. Depending on whether you're able to do so, you could check out its source code and see if you change the filters to make it work. Unfortunately, I don't have the time right now.

Problem solved. I formatted the ssd disk in exfat. Now it's visible in Ejectify. Seems the NTFS format is the problem
