          | Since a few weeks ago, Plasma Device Notifier thinks all my internal hard drive partitions are removable and always shows them. If I go into it's settings and select to show "Non-removable devices only", it doesn't show any devices. Selecting "All devices" or "Removable devices only" shows all devices. I didn't change my fstab settings. How can I make Device Notifier know that my internal HD partitions shouldn't be considered "removable"? 
       Code: 
$ cat /etc/fstab
#<Device>               <mountpoint>            <fstype>        <mount>                         <dump> <pass>
 
 LABEL=data1             /media/disk1part1       ext4            auto,users,rw,async             0       2
 LABEL=data2             /                       ext3            defaults,errors=remount-ro,noatime      0       1
 LABEL=home              /home                   ext3            auto,user,rw,exec,noatime               0       2
 LABEL=swap              none                    swap            sw                                      0       0

          | "user", instead of "users". The difference is, "user" only allows the user who mounted the partition to umount it again (given the auto in fstab means it's mounted on-boot, by root), while "users" allows that to every user. |

          | I edited fstab, rebooted, no effect, Device Notifier stills shows my 6 regular HD partitions, data1 through data8 and home. It sees all the devices as removable. Fully upgraded system. 
       Code: 
cat /etc/fstab
#<Device>               <mountpoint>            <fstype>        <mount>                         <dump> <pass>
 
 LABEL=data1             /media/disk1part1       ext4            auto,user,rw,async              0       2
 LABEL=data2             /                       ext3            defaults,errors=remount-ro,noatime      0       1
 LABEL=home              /home                   ext3            auto,user,rw,exec,noatime               0       2
 LABEL=swap              none                    swap            sw                                      0       0

          | Could it be the async flag?  Isn't that for external devices? |

          | I still have this issue. No matter what options I put into /etc/fstab, device notifier lists all my hard drive partitions. 
       Code: 
cat /etc/fstab
#<Device>               <mountpoint>            <fstype>        <mount>                         <dump> <pass>
 
 LABEL=data1             /media/disk1part1       ext4            auto,user,rw,async              0       2
 LABEL=data2             /                       ext3            defaults,errors=remount-ro,noatime      0       1
 LABEL=home              /home                   ext3            auto,user,rw,exec,noatime               0       2
 LABEL=swap              none                    swap            sw                                      0       0

          | This issue has been solved by an upgrade. Now the plasma device notifier only shows my hard drive partitions when I select "Non-removable devices only" or "All devices".  |
