You need to create a permanent mount point for it. Then it will be seen as a non-removable drive.
I experienced the same thing when I installed Bazzite.
It does have a permanent mount point, this is the line in
/etc/fstab:It needs to be pointed to a specific mount point, not just the mounts folder.
For example, /mounts/mountname
After creating the mount point name, setting the permissions correctly, and updating fstab, it should start to show up as a fixed drive.
It is. The disk is mounted at /mounts/00d6c142-ca89-4f65-93d0-dd74f14236f8
OK, the text was wrapping weird on my screen and it didn't look like that was part of the same path.
Have you tried giving it a simpler path?
Why are you mounting to an odd folder path? This seems like how they get mounted temporarily to me. But I'm using another RPM based system they define it differently. Does the uuid names folder exist in /mounts already? Like do you want it in /mounts/certain folder. Maybe if that folder you are specifying is non existant its picking it up as removable drive?
