The settings are for a partition, not the whole disk
  • Open the _Disks_ application. Select the secondary disk and in the gears menu click on _Edit Mount Options..._
  • ![action menu of a volume in the Disks application](https://linux.codidact.com/uploads/20r0pgdy2auw0na2xiox1e5pyhqn)
  • Uncheck _Use Session Defaults_ and uncheck _Show in user interface_.
  • ![Mount options of the volume](https://linux.codidact.com/uploads/nj9l82angl9p2vk64eb76tm2o7vg)
  • Optional: select a _Mount Point_ you can find easily. The disk will not only not be shown in the dock, it will also not be shown in the file manager anymore as a separate drive, you will have to navigate to the folder yourself.
  • You can drag it to the bookmarks for easier navigation:
