Some Pointers with Fstab
by Temphelpme from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4TYQR)
Hey All!
Since my back up fiasco. I kept this site around because the community is quite helpful. I was able to lurk around about my 5700xt issue and either this forum or the regular arch one got my multiple drives mounting albeit not exactly how I need them though.
*******
Issue at hand:
I have installed and partitioned a Nvme drive. It is ext4 and by right clicking > Root Actions> Change permissions I can save, delete, etc. The drives will show in "dolphin" and by clicking them they will mount as >run>media>doom>uuid
What I would like to achieve is getting this fstab editing figured out, so I can create Steam Library and begin gathering all my games. As of now I can't open a program and have it access any of my additional drives..
The screenshot attached shows one terminal with my lsblk -f of UUID's, a terminal logged as su nano /etc/fstab.
now the second terminal shows the line of fstab being edited. fstab edits happen a few lines after my main info. I won't touch that , because when the system boots only to command line (which it has) i quickly jump into Nano drop the lines then reboot.
Some lines that have been tested.
UUID=f27c6170-1223-4783-878e-3cd487d386ea /ext defaults,noatime,2
UUID=f27c6170-1223-4783-878e-3cd487d386ea /dev/nvme0n1p1 /ext defaults,noatime,2 *in screenshot shows typo
Which is correct in the above ^ just going to /ext4 or placing in the /dev info?
Once I know that I will continue to play with some of the following adjustments. Can you also help evaluate and rule out anything below?
So the thinking is:
the 2 needs to be adjusted to 3
drop defaults and replace with /mnt or -rw
or I am doing the totally wrong thing and need to log in as root and begin doing mount drive, mkkdir etc.
