I upgraded online from Mageia 7 to 8. Prior to upgraded I removed my Backup drive so it was safe from any corruptions. I am using Plasma. I did start having the black screen so I went did a Repair/upgrade existing install. I reconnected the backup drive. The Mageia is working well except that the Backup drive wants the root password everytime I start/reboot. I wish it would just use the User password.
On startup I get the message
Authentication is required to mount WDC WD10EZEX-75M2NAO (/dev/sdb5). An application is attemping to perform an action that requires provilages.
Under Fstab it does not show the drive
- Code: Select all

Under MCC – Local disks – Manage disk partitions. The drive below which I believe relates to the Authentication issue is here.

I tried another blank drive for the backup but the same message came up.
Please how do I fix this?
Many thanks
