I recently moved up to Helen Keller 17.4 64b with stretch repositories, and immediately found I could only use the root partition; all others are unmountable except when running live from the ISO dvd when they all become mountable. The force mount option in spaceFM has no effect but the fstab entries look correct. MBRs and partitions were created as logical within extended by Gparted when it becomes available during the screen-based install process. Pluggable filesystems are unaffected by this failure to mount. Any ideas please? Thanks to all in advance.

Install disk-manager and try making then mountable. sudo disk-manager (I hope this is the right advice) That’s what I use anyway.
I have two homes one for Debian and one antiX

A side note: the more secure we make the partition mounting options, the more difficult it is to use any account to modify the partitions unless the account is either specifically listed in the access rights or it is the root account.
If you cannot access a partition and you do not know what else to do, login as root; if you cannot access the partition in that manner, something is truly wrong. For now, see if this helps – login as root to mount additional partitions.

mount: mountpoint media/sda6 does not exist
from spacefm and terminalThe mountpoints are missing under /media
You can create them with for example
sudo mkdir /media/sda6Afterwards sda6 should be mountable.

Thanks for catching that caprea.
Point of interest:
This is a personal preference: When I create a new directory, I like to add the -p option to the mkdir command, for example,
mkdir -p /media/sda3
-p, –parents
No error if existing, make parent directories as needed
This prevents the display of warning and error messages, so it’s important to ensure that the right (intended) directory is being created and there are no typographical errors in the names.

Thanks for the response suggesting I install disk-manager. I did so and mounting them from the disk-manager window was successful, and all subsequent mounts have been successful across multiple boots. Thanks for all contributions, they saved me the unwanted chore of regressing to 16.4. I would like to know which of the large variety of switches and parameters to ‘mount’ that are on the man pages, are used by disk-manager, if indeed it uses mount.

That has been a recurring question, and it merits an expanded explanation within FAQ pages.
In the meantime, I’ll suggest that you skim read these 2 recent topics
(and, if questions remain, use the searchbox on the forum main page, search “mount” and look for topics where mount is mentioned in the title).https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/odd-ntfs-mounting-behavior-frugal-install/
