Hello, in my new installation of Fedora KDE one of my internal SSDs appears as removable:

This does not happen on other distros i’ve tried.

Here is the output of lsblk:

nvme1n1 is the disk in question.

/sys/class/block/nvme1n1/removable says it is not removable.

How can I make this not appear as removable?

    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.

        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?
