Can you please make a screenshot? Otherwise we can only guess what's triggering it

This is an openSUSE issue. It (IMO pointlessly) requires the root password to mount certain disks. See https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1116084

My disk is not encrypted, but thanks for the info. I will log this bug with openSUSE team!
