I have problems when I delete files from the ssd and hdd disk

[Andre6-dev]

Hi everyone.

I hope you’re well. I have questions respect with to the disks I hope you can help me. I want to share my experience, and I want to know if it is possible to fix it. I have three disks, the main and the other two are my external disks, but I have a problem trying to delete some files. It takes a lot of time, but it’s different when I move directories or copy. Do I need to configure something to fix that? And why do I need to put my password whenever I try to access these disks. Can I disable that?. Finally is it possible to change the names that the system put as default to the disks?

Can I disable that?

See if the following can be of any help to you:

Password authentication when mounting drives in Thunar

Looks like you would need to create a polkit rule for udisk2 to mount partitions without asking for password. I dug around a bit and something like the following might work. If you’re up to testing, create the file: /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/10-udisks2.rules with this content: // Allow udisks2 to mount devices without authentication // for users in the "wheel" group. polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { if ((action.id == "org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount-system" || a…

I am not sure what names you refer to but you could use a disk management tool like Gparted to label or name partitions on a disk.
