I installed an additional SSD on my pc. Everything works ok, except I need to unlock it with my root password on every session so that it mounts.

I’ve tried formatting it to change the ‘owner’, tried adding it to the user group, and I can’t find any other solutions. Any ideas?

This happens irrelevant of DE (happens on KDE and hyprland). I’m running tumbleweed, though this looks like a config problem rather than a distro problem.
