Hello,
I have tumbleweed installed with the current updates: X86-64, kde
The system is a HP proliant with a hardware raid unit and the disks are divided in 3 logical disks
#fdisk -l

the mounted files systems are:

the disk sdc is used as the filesystem for a XEN VM;
sdc1 = root
sdc2 = swap
sdc3 = usr
sdc4 = home
Now the VM is NOT started and I receive a popup window message asking for root password
“Authentication is required to mount HP LOGICAL VOLUME (dev/sdc4)”
If I look at the details I see
Action: mount a filesystem on a system device
Vendor: the udisks project

my etc/fstab is

This popup didn’t occur before this week.
if I enter the root password then the df output changes
df -k

Any idea why kdeinit or udisksd try mounting a partition which is not referred in fstab?
Many thanks in advance
