Hello:
TDE handles external USB hard drives the same as internal
non-USB (ie SATA) drives. After plugging in an external USB
hard drive it only places a device icon to the desktop if
device icons for unmounted/mounted hard disks are enabled.
I don't want to enable those icons because I have ~20 partitions
I don't want to put on the desktop as devices. Still I would
like to have removable USB hard disk icons on the desktop
similarly to flash disks. How can I do it?
In my opinion removable hard disk should be distinguished
from internal non-removable drives in this context.
Thanks,
Istvan
Hello,
I have the same problem with a particular USB hard disk, which is seen
as a fixed hard disk instead of removable hard disk.
This does not happen on another USB hard disk.
I believe that this is related to the Linux kernel and/or the USB device
itself.
On a real fixed (SATA) hard disk:
$ cat /sys/block/sda/removable
0
On a normally working USB hard disk:
$ cat /sys/block/sdb/removable
1
On the USB hard disk that is seen as fixed hard disk:
$ cat /sys/block/sdc/removable
0
If TDE is using this "removable" flag, which is sometimes incorrect, it
may explain the issue.
