SD Card not auto-mounting in Gaming Mode

Some SD Card auto-mounting weirdness I'm trying to figure out... Gaming Mode isn't mounting my SD Card(s) at first boot, but Desktop Mode is.

To get it to work in Gaming Mode I have to EITHER:
- A) eject and re-insert the SD Card then 'Restart Steam' in the power menu OR
- B) go to Desktop Mode then 'Return to Gaming Mode'.

Is the gaming mode functionality hardcoded to it being named "mmcblk0p1" like SteamOS's default or something? Because it's actually named "Bazzite-SD1".

The drive was formatted from within Gaming Mode. All formatting and mounting preferences set in /etc/defaults were left unchanged, so it should have all default options.

The biggest weirdness is that it mounts 100% correctly in Desktop Mode but, again, not in the initial boot of the Gaming Mode session.

Screenshots to follow.
