[Bug 56267] New: Cannot create wineprefix on loop device ?
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56267 Bug ID: 56267 Summary: Cannot create wineprefix on loop device ? Product: Wine Version: 9.0 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: larina3315(a)tutanota.com Distribution: --- Created attachment 75983 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=75983 error logs Hello, I have created a loop device to store my wineprefixes in. However, wine does not work with it. How I created it : ``` dd if=/dev/zero of=loop.img bs=100M count=50 udisksctl loop-setup -f loop.img ``` Then formatted it as NTFS using gnome-disks. It is properly detected as NTFS, I can copy-paste files in GNOME Files to and from the mounted loop device. And yet wine apparently cannot create a wineprefix on it. wine --version returns 9.0 (Staging). I checked the permissions for the loopdevice/mounted partition and it was fine too. Do note that I am running wine inside of a toolbox container, but just to rule out that this wasn't a Wine 9 or toolbox container issue, I downloaded org.winehq.Wine stable 23.08 from flathub, gave it --filesystem=host permission, changed the envvar for WINEPREFIX to /run/media/$USER/USBa and it gave me the same exact error, USBa is a physical USB drive formatted as exFAT. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56267 --- Comment #1 from Alexandre Julliard <julliard(a)winehq.org> --- Wine requires a Unix filesystem for prefixes, NTFS or FAT are not going to work. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
