In Fedora Linux KDE , attaching and using a USB  NTFS  hard disk is only
selecting it from the Dolphin file manager when it is attached and
doing whatever you want with it .

Only so much , no more anything ( except by selecting
( such disks to be mounted automatically when they are attached )
from "Settings" related menus only one time  ) .
I am not using anything other than KDE .


With my best wishes ,
