Why isn't second drive showing up in Files?

I have two drives and my first drive is showing up as expected, but my second one is no longer showing up after a computer restart. All of my steam games were on it and now steam can't find it. What happened?

@Assassin can you try ujust disable-automounting and then see if the issue appears again after a reboot im guessing if you dont touch it youll have the same issue again after restarting

that did the trick. i disable automounting and after a restart it appeared as expected

yeah i had the same issue a while ago no clue why disabling automount causes drives to properly automount but i think its two different mount methods conflicting or something

Takes too much time to boot up. We need to trim down the time. One of the common denominators is with devices with many storage drives/partitions. Possibly the steamos automount udev rules are play...

idk if this specific issue is known but it looks like some change to automounting will happen at some point regardless
