Not super confortable with linux yet, I have an issue mounting my 4tb thunderbolt nvme ssd.
I have the device authorized and seen but the only way I can mount it is via fstab and only after a reboot.
If I unmount it after that, I can't remount it until a reboot. not very useful for an external disk.
If I run a manual mount of it, the command will hang forever (I see the ssd led flashing a few second) and I see no error message anywhere.

Any idea how I could mount/unmount it without a reboot ?

Bash:
cat /etc/fstab
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
