Logical Volume Recognised as Removable Drive


Hi,

I've done a fresh install of Fedora 36 (Cinnamon) where there are 2 mounts:

/dev/mapper/vgroot-root / ext4 defaults 1 1
/dev/mapper/vgdata-data /home/myuser/Data ext4 defaults 1 2

/ is on a single NVME SSD while /home/myuser/Data is on a pair of 2.5" HDD repurposed from portable drives (both Seagate ST2000LM007-1R8174) into 1 volume group.

The mountpoint /home/myuser/Data is recognised as a removable drive by the O/S (removable drive icon in panel) and by Nemo.

On my previous Fedora 35 also Cinnamon (in place upgrades from about Fedora 32 I think), I had the same set up except both HDD were 3.5". And the same mountpoint doesn't show up as removable media.

Closest Google-fu got me was ...

https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=329981

... where the advice was to mount in either /mnt or /media which will prevent the HDD was being seen as removable media.

I'm obviously not up to speed as to what is considered removable media by the O/S. Any advice would be most appreciated.

Workaround was to ...

1. Add x-gvfs-hide to /etc/fstab for Data:
- Which removed Data as a removable drive from both O/S and Nemo
2. Then configure Data as a Bookmark in Nemo:
- Which adds it to the sidebar

Cheers.
