It is how it should be. As you are attaching a partition there is no disk for the "file manager" to identify, and scan for partitions. Your usability concern could be addressed by automounting /dev/xvdi.., or by using a helper script in dom0 to mount at a custom mount point when you attach that partition to vault. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
