Fedora Plasma 43 upgrade mounts unwanted drive

Hello.

Since upgrading from Fedora Plasma 42 to 43 when I first login I am presented with the following window to type in a password to mount an NVMe drive on my system.

However, this is a drive that is not in my /etc/fstab nor a drive that I want mounted. I never received this pop-up in previous versions of Fedora or Plasma before upgrading to 43.

Is this a new feature of Fedora or Plasma? How do I disable this? I don’t want this NVMe mounted. And I prefer not to get prompted for an attempted mount. I’ve looked around all over my system (/etc/udisks2/; /etc/udisks2/modules.conf.d/; /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/; /etc/mtab) and so far have not found a way to disable this.

Does anyone know what is happening here and how to disable it?

Thanks.

Problem solved.

For those who also experience this issue, this is how I fixed it.

In my home directory, in the hidden .config directory is a file called kded_device_automounterrc (e.g. /home/user/.config/kded_device_automounterrc). You will need to edit this file and change the entry from true to false, like so:

[Devices][/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/nvme0n1p3]
EverMounted=false
Icon=drive-harddisk
LastNameSeen=Basic data partition

Do you have the KDE option to restore your previously open applications, which in turn is opening Dolphin which itself has this drive as a mounted location?
