I installed an additional SSD on my pc. Everything works ok, except I need to unlock it with my root password on every session so that it mounts.
I’ve tried formatting it to change the ‘owner’, tried adding it to the user group, and I can’t find any other solutions. Any ideas?
This happens irrelevant of DE (happens on KDE and hyprland). I’m running tumbleweed, though this looks like a config problem rather than a distro problem.
You could set the password to be the same. It’ll attempt to use all known methods when unlocking it.
You can also probably store a key on the root drive instead of using a password, but I’ve never done that.
They do use the same pass though, that’s why it’s so strange to me. Thanks for the help, this at least gives me a clue.
I’ll dig around and update the post for reference.
