Description Aleksey Kontsevich 2023-05-02 15:46:22 UTC 
SUMMARY
Disks & Devices applet always shows all the available partitions for me if I select "Show only removable media". If I select "Show non-removable media" - it shows nothing. "Show all" - shows all like in the 1st variant. Systemsettings app shows external devices correctly - only removable media.


OBSERVED RESULT
Disks & Devices applet shows all disks including removable media (USB), SSD and HDD

EXPECTED RESULT
Disks & Devices applet should show only removable media (USB).

Any chance to fix this?!

Please attach the output of "udisksctl dump".

udisksctl dump attached.
Comment 4 Fabian Vogt 2023-07-22 19:57:54 UTC 
Interpreting the dump:

The usb drive has:

    ConnectionBus:              usb
    Ejectable:                  true
    MediaRemovable:             false
    Removable:                  true

The internal SSD has:

    ConnectionBus:              
    Ejectable:                  true
    MediaRemovable:             true
    Removable:                  true

The internal HDD has:

    ConnectionBus:              
    Ejectable:                  true
    MediaRemovable:             true
    Removable:                  true

So this is an issue with udisks itself or wherever udisks gets this information from (kernel, systemd/udev).
You can also check whether those ports have hotplug enabled (ref. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111651). If not, you might want to report this upstream to udisks or kernel.

Yes, I bought new MB, bug started after that, so https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111651#c3 helped: 

>Disabling the hotplug functionality in the bios make the drives appears as non removable anymore
