Opening a directory in a mounted disk uses a different icon

  • 772

My home directory is mounted in a different disk than my os.

The consequence of this is when I open the file explorer it uses the icon for the disk explorer:

Instead of the file icon:

Is there a way to make it use the later rather than the first?

This is what /etc/fstab/ looks like:

# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=cdafc091-038c-4c65-b60e-45e3ba289523 /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
# /boot/efi was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=F202-4B38  /boot/efi       vfat    umask=0077      0       1
/swapfile                                 none            swap    sw              0       0

  1. It looks like using /dev/disk/by-uuid/ instead of UUID= is causing the problem.

    Just to be safe, before you edit /etc/fstab, you should verify the UUID using the following command:

    blkid

    Then, edit your /etc/fstab file to show UUID= followed by the UUID you obtained using the previous command (replace if different from the current one listed). Save the file and any unsaved work and reboot to apply the changes.
