Hello, I have two systemd service instances named removable-device-attach@uuid running on boot on a system that has no removable storage connected:
Both instances uuid match to a system partition and a logical volume where PBS is installed (which by is installed on top of Proxmox which is installed on top of Debian).
This system currently has no removable storage connected, but its possible that it had one external usb disk connected while PBS was installed.
Everything is working as expected, only it seems to barely affect boot times, but nothing noticecable
I'm just curious why this units are created, are they somehow trying to mount system partitions as if they were removable storage?
I've tried to get rid of them but I dont know how to handle this kind of systemd service instances.
Code:
