If I understand the description correctly, the actual root filesystem is appearing in Plasma Systray as a removable USB.
What does a file manager show?
And 'mount'?
Before assigning this, Ben, I think we need to know whether this is a Plasma problem, or more widespread.

issue does not occur with LXDE  from Mga7.1 CI x86_64

Comment 6 Ben McMonagle 2019-07-17 00:20:07 CEST

there is a how-ever!

Isodumper gives the / device as an option to write to.

this is something that should also be looked into

Comment 7 Lewis Smith 2019-07-19 21:28:42 CEST

c5 made it look like Plasma - but c6 kills that idea, so assigning as a base system problem.

Hello,
If Isodumper report it, this is because udisks report it as removable. I think that Plasma uses the same. I don"t know really how udisks determines that a device is removable, but my assumption is that the device itself reports it as such.

Hi bug reporter and hi assignee and others involved,

Please reopen this bug report if it is still valid for Mageia 8 or 9(cauldron), and change "Version:" in the upper left of this report accordingly.

This report is being closed as OLD because it was filed against Mageia 7, for which  support ended on June 30th 2021.

Thanks,
Marja
