How about if you have two extra drives, can both of them be mounted to /mnt at the same time? 🤔 No, the last one mounted would win and the first one would be hidden. | 09:42:56 |
 Kielo | Alright. So you mount drives to /mnt/exampleDrive1 and /mnt/exampleDrive2 and then perhaps ln to have an easier access? | 09:44:28 |
| tastytea | Or you just mount them to wherever you need them. | 09:45:45 |
| Kielo | Oh right. 😆 | 09:46:32 |
| Kielo | I have been mounting my other drive to ~/Storage (yeah, I suck at naming) but I think that I'll mount it now to /mnt and use ln since it has pretty much of all kinds of stuff inside so ~/Storage doesn't make that much of a sense. | 09:48:40 |

| Z | ln -s individual folders tho | 09:50:02 |
| Kielo | Gotcha. | 09:50:29 |
| tastytea | I have one drive mounted to /misc and a lot of symlinks to its folders. 😅 | 09:50:33 |

| Kielo | Alright. x)
I think that I need to cleanup my system directory and file wise.. | 09:51:45 |

dont mount them in home tho There's nothing wrong with mounting sruff in home if the user is the only one accessing it. | 09:51:58 |

bad habit don't think anyone cares | 09:54:46 |

don't think anyone cares probably not | 10:03:38 |
 guntherdw | I mount stuff in /home if it's a usermode mount though | 10:31:48 |
| guntherdw | like sshfs | 10:31:51 |
| guntherdw | (most of the) other stuff? /mnt or /media or w/e | 10:32:39 |
| Kielo | Isn't this relatively sane way to automount the extra drive through /etc/fstab?
UUID=blabla /mnt/seagate ext4 rw,relatime 0 0
I'm not really sure what the relatime really does even after reading the docs but apparently it's the default option so I figured it must be fine.

| 11:19:53 |
| Kielo | Actually I think that I would enable fsck so:
UUID=blabla /mnt/seagate ext4 rw,relatime 0 2

| tastytea | relatime and rw are both defaults, you can just replace that with defaults. 😉 | 11:41:35 |
| Kielo | Gotcha. 😊 | 11:42:19 |
| tastytea | relatime only updates the atime (access time) if the mtime (modify time) or ctime (change time) are updated, instead of on every file access. It is set either to mtime or ctime, whichever is newer. | 11:50:07 |
| Kielo | Right. 🤔 | 11:54:37 |
