Hello!

rather simple question:

Qubes, isn't it?

thanks!
i must mount the second drive every time to dom0 (its almost on dom0,
but not mounted, is greyed). Is there any way, to mount it automatically
in dom0 fstab or smth like that?

the second thing is, the data on this VM (on the other SSD) will not be
encrypted. Is there a simple way to let it be encrypted, but work with
the VM?

Yes, you can encrypt the whole secondary drive with LUKS, then add
entries in crypttab and fstab to have it auto-decrypt and automount on
dom0 startup.

These are general Linux things (not Qubes-specific), so we don't
maintain documentation for them. There are a lot of good guides
available on the Web.
