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.

    I know a lot of people are recommending fstsb entries, but since you’re using a DE, you can have the credential stored in the wallet / session manager for your DE. KDE and Gnome should both have an automount option using keys from there. Then you also can find a preference somewhere to unlock your wallet / session keys thing on login. Bing bang boom you should have it mount and unlock automatically without having to enter any extra stuff with the added benefit of not leaving the key around (though since it seems you have FDE anyway that’s a minor issue depending on your threat model)
