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.
