Hey guys.
I’m honestly not sure if this is the correct section, so please allow me to apologise in advance if it is not.
I have recently reinstalled my Manjaro, and now, for whatever reason, when I want to mount one of the internal drives I use ‘Udisks’, demands my password. I’ve turned it off for usb drives - I don’t have drives from unknown compuers in the house anyway.
It does not appear to matter what formatting the drive has - I’ve tried a few drives over the month since my install, including an old NTFS drive; most of them are in Exfat. 2½" SSD, a couple 2½" sata drives, and the 3½" 20TB storage drive I use all the time.
Is there a way to make this stop? I don’t put drives in my computer I don’t approve access to.
We have seen quite a few topics on this.
I really don’t understand why they have begun to appear.
The commons I think I have understood from the topics
- gnome-disks has been used to create fstab entries
- partitions is often using windows originated filesystems
I have several internal devices and a lot of removable - never been prompted as described?
Some of the speculations
/etc/udisks2/ contains configuration which - for some reason - causes the prompt- group permission / member ship
