From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

New SSD requires password to mount (lemm.ee)

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.
