Hi Kate, you can write your drive to /etc/fstab using noauto.

If you want to add it to fstab and need some help let us know the dev 
name or uuid, file system type and where you want to mount it, I use 
/home/jimmy/sdb1 or it could be /mount/sdb1 or /media/sdb1. Here's a 
example of how I handle sdb1 on this desktop.

  '/dev/sdb1 /home/jimmy/01-SDB1 ext4 noauto,users,exec,relatime 0 0'

But what you're seeing seems to be a PC Linux OS thing and is not the 
behavior of devuan or debian.
