Description Davide Cavalca 2025-05-23 16:25:32 UTC

SUMMARY
On Apple Silicon Macs running Fedora Asahi Remix, the NVME drive contains a number of partitions and APFS containers that should not be exposed to the user, but are currently listed under "Devices" in the left pane. These include:
- iBootSystemContainer -- usually the first partition, filesystem type "Apple Silicon boot"; there's nothing useful here, and if it's damaged in any way the system will not boot anymore and will require a DFU restore from a second machine
- RecoveryOSContainer -- usually the last partition, filesystem type "Apple Silicon recovery"; same issues as iBootSystemContainer

Additionally, Fedora Asahi Remix (and other distributions that leverage Asahi Linux) boots by installing a stub macOS in a 2-3GB APFS container (usually numbered right before the ESP); this is also not useful to expose to users.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. install Fedora Asahi Remix
2. open dolphin
3. observe the folders

OBSERVED RESULT
these are here

EXPECTED RESULT
these should not be here

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0
Qt Version: 6.9.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The RPM version is dolphin-25.04.1-1.fc42.aarch64

That's an upstream issue I think.

Could you report what 

`solid-hardware6 list` reports.

If the partitions are handled by udisks, udisks should be marking them as ignored.
