Removable volume not appearing in file managers
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
Neither Nautilus, Caja or Thunar show my removable storage device in the list of devices.
I can mount it manually using udisksctl:
$ udisksctl mount --block-device /dev/sdd1 Mounted /dev/sdd1 at
/run/media/user/RECOVERY.
It shows up in gvfs:
$ gio mount -l
...
"Drive(4): Generic Flash Disk
But gvfs can't mount it:
$ gio mount -d /dev/sdd1
gio: /dev/sdd1: No volume for device file"
Nothing I've tried seems to work.

It turns out that udisks has an attribute for drives that marks them as ignored.
You can see if this attribute is set with the following:
$ udevadm info /dev/sdd1 | grep -i ignore
UDISKS_IGNORE=1
Udisks sets this attribute on devices based on heuristics and configuration. See man udisks and search for ignore.
In this case it turns out that partitions named "RECOVERY" among others are set as ignored by the default udev rules. See here.
So the solution was to rename my linux recovery usb stick to something else than "RECOVERY".
