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?

does unmounting and then remounting make it appear
i unmount it and then it does appear back in the Files window


which of course lets steam detect it and my steam library
@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 restartingthat 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
very weird. i dont see a bug report on github so i'll post on and hopefully it can get investigated
mine was on gnome too
iunno if thats relevant

Tweak ujust recipes to disable partition automounting · Issue #30...
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...
i am also on gnome so possibly
zeglius is a maintainer
ah nice didnt see that!
idk if this specific issue is known but it looks like some change to automounting will happen at some point regardless
