I have started to archive data to BD-R disks. I am just starting this process and have already run into a problem.
I burn the disk and it checks okay. I put the disk into the BD drive and get a notice that the disk is there. If I right click on the BD icon in "Disks and Devices" pop-up, I only have the option to Copy with K3B. No mount option. This is the same on F41 and F42.
I want the option to load the disk as if it is an external USB drive. For my usage, the file manager is not useful for my purposes. I have looked through the settings to see if I can make a change but cannot find out how it is done. It looks like I will have to figure this out for data DVDs as well.
Also, there is no method to unmount the drive in the "Disks and Devices" menu until another device is added. I did find a very old bug for no display to unmount the drive that was fixed.

I don't want automount. Only suggestion I could find was to install a Gnome disk tool.
Can you mount and unmount from the command line?
If you cannot that will likely provide useful information,
In logs and dmesg.

Thanks for the response.
I can mount from command line with sudo. Don't have sudo access on the
account I need to use.
I can mount using the Mount and Open file manager. Unmounting is an
issue but I am not dealing with that now.
It isn't a mounting issue, it is a lack of the "mount" option in the
"Disks and Devices" as you get with USB sticks. I want that option for
DATA disks as I don't use a gui for file management.
This is a configuration issue on the system and in my searches, I always
end up about how to automount. I don't want automount, I want to mount
DATA DVDs and BD-Rs as storage devices. Somewhere on the system, there
is a setting that says USB sticks are storage and DVD/BDs are media, not
storage. I have looked through the system settings but I don't see
anything other than applications settings.
