I see you're using LVM (/dev/mapper), so I'm guessing your
F33 was
not
a fresh install but an upgrade. F33 installs on BTRFS by default, and
come to think of since I switched to BTRFS I'm fairly sure I haven't
seen this problem. That might be a red herring of course.
Yes, upgrades for a long time now. I've only just found a way to do a
clean install and then restore all my applications. I've not yet found
the courage to try it :-)
Perhaps F34
Dolphin is part of KDE, not Gnome. The Gnome equivalent is Nautilus.
Do you have the "Restore Manually Saved Session" option set (under
Desktop Session in KDE Settings)? If you save a session with Dolphin
running, it will restart when you log in.
Alternatively, check Autostart (under Workspace in Settings).
Errr, oh really? Thanks. I might've known that :-/
I've tried to remove it a few times, with some success. It's not in
autostart, and I have "Restore previous session" set for login. I seem
to remember that was the problem. Of course anything that loads Dolphin
then causes it to persist into my next session. I don't remember what
it was that likes to load it. But will/could it then mount this volume
(?).
I s'pose the better option is to go to BTRFS. I read the blurb about it
when they announced it would become the default and it seemed riskier
than not changing something that's been working, but I expect I should
do that.
Many thanks
