Raspberry Pi OS • Re: My external drive is detected as such despite being listed in fstab

I found the problem. The partitions were mounted into users' /home dirs. When mounted into /mnt/ the problem doesn't happen.

1. The problematic fstab entries for reference :

Code:

UUID=xxx...       /home/user1/disk        btrfs   defaults,nofailUUID=yyy...       /home/user2/disk        btrfs   defaults,nofail
The two partitions are on the same disk. The UUIDs are valid because the partitions are mounted on startup.

I've replaced the /home/ mount points with /mnt/. The "eject" button does not appear anymore, the disk is not shown on the Desktop. I've created symlinks to the /mnt/ dirs in the user's home dirs so that they can access their partitions easily.

Thanks for your help.
