This might be unnecessary to some extent, however, I hope to make things as seamless as possible. So the question is like this: I have edited the /etc/fstab to mount two windows partition automatically at my Linux startup. However, the partitions are mounted "Removable", which means that there is eject button at their right and their icons appears on desktop, as shown in the attached figure below:

enter image description here

This is the functionality that provided for conveniently eject portable disks like USB flash disk etc, but in my case this is quite annoying to a perfectionist like me. So I'm wondering if there is any method to make the mounted disk behaves as if they were local Linux disk?

Any idea is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The added lines in /etc/fstab are

# Windows10 document
UUID=1E1209231209020D  /media/bo/Document    ntfs    defaults    0   0

# Windows10 document
UUID=B4B45B4CB45B0FET  /media/bo/Download    ntfs    defaults    0   0

  • One of your "New Volume" drives does not have the "eject" icon to the right. What is different about that one? Are the two Windows partitions you've asked about in your question attached to a Windows machine, or are they removable drives that you've formatted as a Windows fs? In general, the "Removable" flag is set on the disk itself, and so that is where it would have to be changed. However, your question omits details that allow for a complete answer.

Reset to default

it does that because you are mounting them under /media .

you must change the path from /media to /mnt

something like /mnt/win_download and /mnt/win_document would work as you ask.
