Bonjour tout le monde,
I have finally fully installed linux mint and have been working on getting everything up and running. So far, I haven’t had many issues, but I am having trouble with my 2nd drive. I just want my 2nd drive to mount on boot, and for programs to be able to write to it.
I have looked up guides on pulling up the disks in mint and going into the mount options and selecting mount on boot. This works, but for some reason, programs lose permission to write to it. When I switch the drive back to ‘user session defaults’ programs can write to it, but it doesn’t mount on boot. I haven’t found anyone mentioning this problem so I thought I would post here. Also, my home folder isn’t encrypted and when I go to permissions on the drive, it says ‘permissions could not be determined’
Thanks
Instead of using the gui for this, have you tried. creating a mount point and adding an entry to
/etc/fstab
?Edit: fixed stupid autocorrect
No, I did see some tutorials on using that, but they said that any mistake could result in crashes and having an ubootable pc… so I didn’t want to risk it.
You can always check its consistency if you run a
mount -a
after editing fstab. But yeah, an error in the file can cause some annoyance-Backup the file and have a live USB ready just in case.
Already had to use it and timeshift back lol.
You can always boot a live environment and edit the file from there if anything goes wrong.
