Hello experts,
I am running Opensuse tumbleweed with xfce as wm, currently installed: 20200627. Upgrades are done with tumbleweed-cli.
For some reason, I’m not sure with which update prior to 20200627, I noticed that system partitions are shown as removable devices.
Launching xfdesktop-settings > Icons > Removable Devices my desktop is filled with:
filesystem root
.snapshots
efi i386-pc
x86_64-efi
home
opt
root
srv
tmp
local
var
I also have a MP3 player, this is no longer auto mounted when I plug it in, however it is found by the system with name sdd and sde

On Askubuntu site they suggest I update my fstab, but my fstab looks very unfamiliar with everything under /dev/system/root (perhaps due to btrfs/lvm)

Another link from arch suggests that it is kernal issue.

Can anyone point me in the direction to stop system partions getting recongnized as removable and to get my MP3 to be automountable again?
Thanks for taking time.
