In my present configuration, my /home
lives on a regular spinning hard drive, with the exception of /home/mac/runtime
which is a partition from a SSD.
My problem is that such partition shows up as a "removable device" even if the mount options are such that is not possible for the user to unmount it at all (besides, it is not a removable device, given that it is a partition of an internal hard drive!).
Indeed my goal would be for the partition layout to be totally transparent (my /boot
is on another disk too, but the user wouldn't know, and the /boot
doesn't appear as a removable drive).
The portion of my /etc/fstab
of interest looks like this:
# /home was on /dev/sdb1 during installation
UUID=<my-uuid-here> /home ext4 noatime,nodiratime 0 2
# /home/mac/runtime was on /dev/sda3 during installation
UUID=<my-uuid-here> /home/mac/runtime ext4 noatime,nodiratime 0 2
Thank you in advance for your help!

works as expected (it doesn't show up as a removable drive). Physically, that is another ext4 partition of the SSD.
