Hi.
I have "removable media" selected to show up as desktop icons, and for
the most part memory sticks do so. I've noticed that some external
drives don't, however. As soon a they're mounted, the icon vanishes
from the desktop.
If it happened with all of them, or none of them, I'd understand. What
doesn't make sense is that it's seemingly random. I have 1-TB USB
drives that vanish, and seemingly identical drives which remain
visible.
Am I just late for the party and this has been known forever?

let me guess: you use systemd-udevd, don't you?

Honestly I have no idea, just Debian default whatever that is.
Sorry, I guess that would have been a good thing to put in the opening message.
Debian Stable, mostly default except for TDE of course.

Well ... let me put it this way: this problem comes most likely from systemd. It does not
exist with eudevd.
"Maybe" the systemd guys will eventually release a fix, but don't count on
it.

Got it. I will simply keep on trucking.
