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.
