3. In next window do:

  1. Turn on “Automatic Mount Options”
  2. Due to bug, un-check “Show in user interface”. Also leave “Display Name, Icon Name, Symbolic Icon Name” empty.
  3. (Optional) Edit Mount Point, usually we can use “/mnt/xxx” or “/media/USER_NAME/xxx” or “/media/xxx”.
  4. Filesystem Type: find it in the above picture.
